SBC Name Change

“The alternate name, which was approved for use by SBC messengers in 2012 ‘as one fully in keeping with our Southern Baptist Convention identity,’ has been drawing a lot of interest from church leaders around the country in recent weeks” - CPost



“LifeWay Research released on Friday the results of a random survey of more than 1,000 SBC pastors conducted in April and May 2012, showing that 54 percent say they will not use the non-legal moniker, although more than 35 percent have not discussed it.”

The task force also recommended keeping Southern Baptist Convention as the legal name.
