More than 400 retired Baptist ministers, missionaries and spouses from across the nation enjoyed fellowship and times of inspiration at the Retired Ministers' Retreat. Bill Pinson, executive director emeritus of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, led a series of Bible studies. Jess Moody, retired pastor and founding president of Palm Beach Atlantic University, was the featured preacher. The retreat was sponsored by the Baptist General Convention of Texas and the LifeWay Glorieta Conference Center. Next year's retreat will be Sept. 19-23 at Glorieta.
