From Dr. Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary:

Amidst the many blessings God is pouring out on us at Southeastern, there are also times of heartache and sorry that are hard to put in to words. We are experiencing that right now with the Merkle family.

As we grieve with Ben and his family over the loss of their son Brandon, we believe it is good and right for us to gather the college and seminary family to pray and intercede for them to our Good and Wise God.  Tomorrow in chapel we are canceling our planned Casual Conversation. Instead we will be using that time to cry out to God for our dear friends.  Please make it a priority to join us for a special prayer chapel at 10:30 as Pastor Larry Trotter, Dr. Williams, Dr. Liederbach, Dr. Lawless and I shepherd our time of intercession. Know of my abiding love and thanksgiving for you.

Please note that tomorrow’s “Casual Conversation Continued Brown Bag Lunch” sponsored by the Women’s Life Office and the Southeastern Women’s Club will be postponed until further notice.
