WHEREAS, Because of rapidly deteriorating moral standards in today’s world and the increasing boldness and persistence of the purveyors of evil to encourage moral impurity we, as Southern Baptists at this 1980 Convention, go on record as commending Dr. Abner V. McCall, vice-president of our Convention and president of Baylor University, on his stand against the evil of the Playboy philosophy and its publisher’s deliberate attempt to enlist young women on university campuses to pose nude for its publication; we affirm his strong, unrelenting, courageous stand and the example he has set for all Christians everywhere and Southern Baptists in particular.
