Recognizing the invaluable function of the press to report and interpret to the 12 million Southern Baptists and to the public-at-large that which transpires within the walls of this Convention auditorium, we are deeply grateful to the men and women of the Baptist state papers; the Baptist Press, the denomination’s new service; other religious publications; daily newspapers; wire services; and radio and television stations and networks. Their ministry of information and interpretation is of great importance to their vast audiences, as well as to Southern Baptists.
Therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the Convention express its gratitude to the 150 and more news media people covering this Convention, and that it include them and their ministry in their prayers.
