Among other proposals, the task force recommended that we move to a pure 50/50 split of Cooperative Program receipts between the state and Southern Baptist Convention. The recommendation requested that the State Board of Missions present a plan to the 2011 FBSC meeting showing how the convention would accomplish this division of resources within four years. The recommendation further provided for a seven-year contingency plan in case the convention encountered continued financial decline. Under no circumstance would it take longer than seven years to implement the pure 50/50 split. In 2011, the FBSC approved such a plan.
