WHEREAS, From 1900 to 1970 the population of citizens over 65 has risen from approximately 4% to 10% of the total population of the United States, and
WHEREAS, We feel a Christian responsibility to minister to this increasing number of senior adults and to help them find meaningful places of service and ministry.
Be it therefore RESOLVED, that we urge our churches to creatively seek to meet the needs of senior adults in our churches and communities, and
Be it further RESOLVED, that the Southern Baptist Convention request the Executive Committee to do a feasibility study on the need for a major survey of present and future ministry to and with senior adults and to take appropriate action.
