CBF marks 9/11 anniversary with missions projects. In memory of the victims of terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship will sponsor a day of mission projects Sept. 11. The Fellowship's young leaders network will organize 11 projects in 11 states to commemorate the date of the attacks. Each mission project will focus on peacemaking or rebuilding communities and relationships. For information about the Texas project, contact Rachel Sciretti in Waco at (254) 772-2910 or sciretti@hot.rr.com.
Louisiana Baptist leaders announce retirement. Dean Doster, executive director of the Louisiana Baptist Convention, and Lynn Clayton, editor of the Baptist Message, have announced their plans to retire. 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.
