(Christian Headlines) According to Ronnie Floyd, the president and CEO of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee, the 2021 SBC Annual Meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, next month might be the denomination’s largest since 1995 if all of the more than 12,500 pre-registered messengers attend.
“As of the publication of this story, we have 12,542 messengers pre-registered for the 2021 SBC Annual Meeting on June 15-16 in Nashville,” Floyd said in a statement issued Wednesday.
Only four previous conventions have drawn at least 10,000 messengers since 2000, he claims, and the 2021 pre-registration figures outnumber them all, The Chrisitan Post reports.
