1. Interpretation
We plan to use the Wordly App to provide interpretation for languages other than English. This will be for both in person and virtual attendance. We were pleased at how it worked at the Baptist World Congress in Brisbane and are excited as this will again allow excellent accessibility for many for whom English is not their heart language. More details will be provided closer to the time.
2. Global Council Representation
- Proxies: If your organization is sending a proxy in place of a named Member Partner Global Council representative, BWA will need an official letter stating the name of the person proposed as the proxy and the representative they will be replacing at the meeting. Please send the letter before June 1, 2026, to membership@baptistworld.org.
- Virtual Participation: In keeping with our commitment to provide a hybrid model of participation as well as more equal representation at our meetings, all sessions of the Global Council will be available in hybrid mode. More information on how to join the Global Council meetings virtually will be available soon.
3. Program of Assistance for Travel and Hospitality (PATH)
PATH Scholarship Requests
The window to apply to receive a PATH scholarship for 2026 is now closed, and the funds have been fully allocated.
