SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 197
WHEREAS, The Baptist General Convention of Texas is
celebrating the 75th anniversary of its Christian Life
Commission in 2025; and
WHEREAS, The idea for the Christian Life Commission was
first conceived by a group of messengers in 1949, when they voted
that the Baptist General Convention of Texas should initiate a
plan to offer spiritual guidance on current events and modern-day
issues; the commission was officially established in 1950; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, the Christian Life Commission has
developed a number of commendable programs, including ministries
that advocate for justice and public policies, promote ethical
Christian living, and partner with other organizations to
provide help to those in need; and
WHEREAS, The Christian Life Commission has played an
instrumental role in advancing the mission of the Baptist General
Convention of Texas, and it is indeed fitting to recognize the
organization's significant contributions on this special
milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
Legislature, hereby commemorate the 75th anniversary of the
Christian Life Commission and extend to all those affiliated with
the organization sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for the commission as an expression of high regard from
