Louisiana Baptist leaders announce retirement.

The announcements follow the recent resignation of Rory Lee, president of Louisiana College, who took a position as executive director of the Mississippi Baptist Children's Village. Doster will retire Jan. 31, 2005, and Clayton plans to retire at the end of 2005 after having served more than 27 years as editor of the Baptist state newspaper.
Seminary president falls at SBC. Daniel Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C., was hospitalized June 15 after falling through an opening in the stage at the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting. Akin was on stage for a presentation with other seminary presidents when he fell, according to Southeastern spokesman Jerry Higgins. Robert Stewart, the seminary's physician, examined Akin in a first aid room shortly after the accident. Stewart said Akin appeared to have suffered soft tissue damage to his left side and below his ribcage. Akin was later taken to a hospital, where X-rays showed no broken bones. He was released later the same day after other tests showed no damage to his spleen.
