Whereas, within the past two decades there has been an ever-growing disregard for those ethical standards (accepted by all branches of the Christian church for centuries) regarding sexual activity only within marriage, and that homosexual activity is to be discouraged as being undesirable; and

Whereas, the Rev. Donald E. Wildmon, a member of the Mississippi Annual Conference, has been effective in supporting the long-held Christian ethical position in these areas; and

Whereas, Rev. Wildmon has been especially effective in the last seven or eight years in the removal of both television programs and printed material that promotes promiscuous sex and that also promotes homosexuality as normal and so both acceptable and desirable;

Therefore, be it resolved, that the 1996 General Conference commend Rev. Donald E. Wildmon for his efforts in the reduction of the promotion of promiscuous sex and homosexual activity in both television and the printed media.
