Chaplaincy Relations

Bobby Smith, longtime director of Chaplaincy Relations with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, passed away Tuesday, Oct. 18. Smith faithfully served Texas Baptists for 25 years, including 20 years as director of Chaplaincy Relations.

Since its inception, Chaplaincy Relations has endorsed 1,125 chaplains in eight distinct categories: military, correctional, lifestyle, public safety, healthcare, marketplace, crisis response and pastoral counseling.

On Wednesday, Dec. 16, Texas Baptists-endorsed chaplain and River Ministry missionary Silvia Briones will be one of the first people in Texas to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
