ATLANTA – At a special called virtual meeting, Thursday, April 4, the CBF Coordinating Council approved several recommendations in a roll-call vote. These recommendations came as part of the Council’s work to implement an organizational restructure proposed in the 2012 Task Force Report.
The Council adopted a final recommendation to present to the CBF General Assembly, Kasey Jones, pastor of National Memorial Baptist Church, Washington D.C., to serve as moderator-elect and Jason Coker, pastor of Wilton Baptist Church, Wilton, Conn., to serve as recorder. Jones and Coker are previous members of the Council and Jones was a member of the 2012 Task Force.
The Council also approved a recommendation from officers to present the names of 16 individuals to serve on the CBF Nominating Committee.
A final recommendation from the transitional Nominating Committee was passed to populate the newly-created Governing Board, Missions Council and Ministries Council. The transitional Nominating Committee is comprised of CBF state and regional coordinators, along with past-moderators Harriet Harral and Colleen Burroughs.
“This is the culmination of a year’s worth of work by the Coordinating Council and brings the 2012 Task Force Report to life. We have an implementation team that has helped orchestrate each organizational move and the persons recommended today will provide the leadership team for the next year,” said Keith Herron, CBF moderator.
“This is an exciting time in the life of the Fellowship,” added moderator-elect Bill McConnell, who will succeed Herron as moderator July 1. “We are going in the same direction but doing so in a different manner. The Fellowship’s new Governing Board will now have a better opportunity to dialogue with and support CBF’s Atlanta staff.”
The following individuals will now be presented to the CBF General Assembly in Greensboro, N.C. in June for final approval:

Hi Brethren,
But John, the Baptist was a Witness to the Light but not the Light. So, why do you have Churches in His name and not in the names of Apostles?
Do you know in whose name John, the Baptist baptised sensible Jewish men in water?
Also, please tell me whose son was Jesus who was crucified on the Cross and rose on the Third Day?
And Whose Son is Christ?
Not an easy answer. I am attending Kirchentag in Germany and can explain all that.
If you use solar power panels then this allows you to come away from the power grid and to start
using energy you’ve got harvested yourself and that’s completely renewable.
The most extensively used non-renewable energy sources are the
fossil fuels that consist of oil, natural gas,
and coal. You may even get rebates from your utility company in summer months if you sign up for net usage and use solar
panels.
Everything is very open with a very clear description
of the issues. It was definitely informative.
Your site is very useful. Many thanks for sharing!
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to
my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL
I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
