Whereas Ephesians 4:29 (NIV) says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”; and
Whereas we are reminded in Holy Scripture not to bear a grudge and to love one another (Leviticus 19:180; and
Whereas, Civility in public discourse (spoken and printed) appears to be declining among those of us who claim Jesus Christ as our savior; and
Whereas, in recognition of the negative effects that such behavior has on our wittiness; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the messengers of the South Carolina Baptist Convention meeting in Florence, South Carolina on November 13-14 2007, do proclaim our intent to foster a climate of Christian communication that brings honor to our Lord through encouragement and love, and be it finally
Resolved, that we encourage and support activities or programs that will help establish a positive dialogue, between Christians and with non-Christians that honors Christ.

“Say Something Nice Sunday is a wonderful way to express our common love for each other as Christians. Our words should be used to express love not hatred. What better way can we express this belief than to celebrate a day devoted to healing with our words? I heartily endorse the mission of Say Something Nice Sunday and urge all Christians to participate. In 1 Corinthians 13:13, St. Paul tells us that the greatest virtue is love. What better way is there for Christians to express this virtue than to participate in Say Something Nice Sunday?
Cardinal Dolan of New York – March 29, 2011
“Say Something Nice Sunday certainly seems like a great idea to me. How wonderful it would be if all churches and their members decided to say something positive about other Christians and Christian groups at least one Sunday per year in recognition of our common belief in Christ.”
