The Southern Baptist Convention's own resolution, adopted at its annual meeting in Columbus, Ohio, 16 to 17 June 2015, in anticipation of the Supreme Court's Obergefell ruling. Defines marriage as "the covenanted, conjugal union of one man and one woman," quotes the Baptist Faith and Message 2000's own definition of marriage as "the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime," and states that "no governing institution has the authority to negate or usurp God's definition of marriage."
