SMITH AND SUNDQUIST TO BWA POSTS
Two longtime American Baptist leaders were elected
last month to serve five-year terms as vice presidents of
the Baptist World Alliance.
Dr. G. Elaine Smith, an attorney from Washington, D.C.
and a past president (1996-1997) of American Baptist
Churches USA, and Dr. John A. Sundquist, executive director
of American Baptist International Ministries, were named to
the BWA posts during the 18th Baptist World Congress in
Melbourne, Australia. They will serve along with 14 other
regional vice presidents from around the world.
Dr. Emmett V. Johnson, former director of evangelism
and new church planting for American Baptist National
Ministries, recently completed a five-year term as a BWA
vice president.
Also named to a new post with the BWA was Dr. Robert
H. Roberts, who will serve as chair of the Promotion and
Development Committee. Roberts retired Jan. 31 after
serving a decade as American Baptist Churches USA associate
general secretary for World Mission Support.
