Reflections on the Seven Denominational Priorities Case Statements

The ABC Mission Table, comprised of representatives from every American Baptist Churches USA region, seminary, and national agency adopted a set of priorities in 2013. These priorities serve as emphases for the work of the denomination. At the time of their adoption, each of the priorities was accompanied by a case statement, promoting related mission and ministry activity.

Reflections about the Case Statements are included below, and additional reflections will be added as they are available.
