The Baptist Joint Committee Board of Directors gathered in Washington, D.C., Oct. 1-2, to hear reports of the work of the BJC staff, adopt the operating budget, and open the BJC’s new Center for Religious Liberty.

Members of the board (pictured above) include denominational representatives and others connected to the BJC’s 15 supporting organizations.

Board Chair Mitch Randall (Religious Liberty Council), Vice Chair Carroll Baltimore (Progressive National Baptist Convention), Secretary Terri Phelps (Religious Liberty Council) and Treasure Rob Appel (Seventh Day Baptist General Conference) were all re-elected for a second year. Retiring board members Stan Hastey (Alliance of Baptists) and Rob James (Baptist General Association of Virginia) were recognized for their service to the organization.
