Greensboro, N.C.
This year’s speaker is Suzii Paynter, the newly elected executive coordinator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. Before serving in her role at CBF, Paynter was the director of the Christian Life Commission of the Baptist General Convention of Texas and of the BGCT’s Advocacy and Care Center. She has led efforts to address a variety of public policy areas, including hunger, child and maternal nutrition, ending human trafficking, life issues, juvenile justice, foster care, immigration and education. In that role, she was an active member of interfaith efforts to affect legislation and policy, and she has been an advocate for religious liberty issues, literacy and early intervention for high-risk children.
At this year’s event, Paynter will receive the BJC’s highest honor — the J.M. Dawson Religious Liberty Award — for her work defending our first freedom.
If you cannot make it to Greensboro, you can still be part of the luncheon. You can sponsor a table in honor of your church or favorite college or seminary and encourage others to attend. Or, you can purchase a ticket that we will give to a seminary student who would be unable to attend otherwise.
Starting April 1, tickets can be purchased at BJConline.org/luncheon or by calling 202-544-4226. For more information, contact Taryn Deaton at [email protected].
