Just One More Soul: My Vision for the Year 2009-2010
Morris H. Chapman's Address to the SBC Executive Committee September 21, 2009

This prayer initiative is simple in application, yet its potential impact is profound. I am asking you as members of the Executive Committee, executive staff, entity heads, and guests to join me in praying daily for "Just One More Soul." Read More

Dr. Chapman's Letter of Resignation
In February 1992, the then members of the Executive Committee elected me to serve as the president/treasurer of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention to succeed Harold C. Bennett upon his retirement, September 30, 1992. The Executive Committee, in its September 1992 meeting, recommended that the title of the position be changed to "president and chief executive officer." On my inaugural date, I also became treasurer of the Southern Baptist Convention and treasurer of the Executive Committee. Later, I became chairman of the Southern Baptist Foundation when it became a subsidiary of the Executive Committee in 1997. Read More
