Southern Baptist Convention. Program Planning Process.

The Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention began its Program Planning Process in 1958 to identify duplicate and unclear programs in an effort to create a better organizational structure. Albert McClellan served as Program Planning Secretary for the Executive Committee, and coordinated a series of studies and conferences that resulted in purpose statements for ninety-five programs. These statements were published by the Committee in, The Organization Manual of the Southern Baptist Convention (1967).
