The Executive Committee of the Baptist World Alliance takes note with deep sorrow of the violent death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior.

They resolve that sympathy be expressed to Mrs. Martin Luther King, Junior, and the members of their family; and would draw the attention of all Baptists to the need for Christians to struggle for a righteous order of society in a spirit of Christlike love.
