Layman plans motion to restore NC to original CP giving plan - BP News
CARY, N.C.

The annual meeting will be held Nov. 14-16 in Winston-Salem.“My agenda is to strengthen the partnership between our state convention and our national convention,” Stone, who is known among Southern Baptists for his 20-plus year campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of drugs, told Baptist Press. “We love the Cooperative Program and want to support it vigorously.”Since 1991, North Carolina Baptists have endorsed four optional giving plans from which churches can choose. The plans were created from dissatisfaction among some state leaders about the conservative direction of the Southern Baptist Convention.Stone’s motion proposes a 65/35 percentage split, with the smaller percentage going to the Southern Baptist Convention. His proposal will earmark funds for the Fruitland Baptist Bible - more available
