Record Budget Adopted by Baptists in New Orleans
The Southern Baptist Convention adopted a record operating budget of 27,288,119 for 1970, up 597,100 from the current year, with a 20 percent cost of living raise for executives and staff. The plan relies on 34,285 churches to fund the total, including 335,000 for the executive committee. President Dr. W A Criswell was reelected to a second year amid liberal opposition led by Dr. William Smith Jr. The convention described the liberal faction as small and primarily younger, while Criswell defended strict biblical interpretation and warned against a growing liberalism in the denomination.
