Greear to be first SBC president to speak at March for Life
Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear will join a lineup of speakers including Tim Tebow, Benjamin Watson and Jim Daly at the 48th annual March for Life Jan. 29 in Washington, D.C.
Greear will be the first SBC president to speak at the event. Other SBC leaders have addressed the crowd in the past, including Richard Land as president of the Christian Life Commission (now Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission) as well as Virginia pastor and former International Mission Board President David Platt.
“I am honored to be invited to this historic and important event,” Greear said. “Christians are called to defend the vulnerable, and there are none more vulnerable than innocent children in the womb.
