The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Coordinating Council approved the 2012 Task Force report May 1, sending it to the General Assembly in June for a vote.
A quorum of the council met in Atlanta, on the phone and through virtual meeting software, to receive the task force’s response to questions and suggestions raised at a February meeting. After detailed discussions and with wording amendments, the report was approved unanimously.
The two-year study charting the future of the moderate Baptist organization formed in 1991 recommends changes in governance, funding and how the Fellowship relates to partners. The vote on the report is scheduled June 21 at the 2102 General Assembly in Fort Worth, Texas.
