Pence to visit Dallas for speech at Southern Baptist Convention meeting
Vice President Mike Pence will speak at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in Dallas on Wednesday, the denomination announced Monday.
Pence will speak at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center at 11 a.m., near the end of the morning session of worship and reports.
"We are excited to announce Vice President Mike Pence will be attending this year's SBC annual meeting to express appreciation to Southern Baptists for the contributions we make to the moral fabric of our nation," SBC president Steve Gaines said in a statement.
Doors will open at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday with increased security for SBC delegates or "messengers" and guests. SBC officials expect as many as 11,000 messengers at the meeting Wednesday. Doors will close at 10 a.m., in time for the convention sermon, a high-profile speech that was a point of controversy in recent weeks.
