BWA World Congress Resolution 1970.5

The Baptist World Alliance, in its continued and determined efforts for world peace with justice, and in its further endeavors to overcome the poverty and suffering of peoples of every nation, is willing to work with other religious groups and organizations toward these ends, doing so in a manner consistent with our Baptist principles and Baptist beliefs.

Our officers are requested to carry out this policy, and to report on such working together to the Executive Committee and to the next Congress of the Baptist World Alliance.
