    Description:
    William Randall Lolley was the 3rd president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with organ music (0:00-6:57). The organist and choir sing “O God Our Help in Ages Past” (6:58-11:41). There is a moment of prayer (11:42-13:31). A welcome is extended to the chapel guests, and the newest “Southeasterners” are recognized (13:32-16:15). A portrait of the late John Edward Steely is presented to his wife Donna Steely and her two children as a gift (16:16-19:26). The opportunity of a preview for the Ledford Center is announced (19:27-21:30). The Development Counsel Award for Faculty Excellence is presented to Dr. Alan Neely (21:31-24:41). The Citation for Excellence in Christian Ministry is awarded to Reid Douglass Hardin (24:42-31:55). Hardin expresses his gratitude for all who have supported him (31:56-34:17). The history of the congregational hymn is given (34:18-35:54). There is a Scripture reading (35:55-39:23). Lolley speaks about the twelve disciples as the “original manuscripts” of the gospel and their reliance on Christ (39:24-47:03). He discusses their slip ups and failures, emphasizing how “the Lord helped [them] back on their feet,” just as He does with all believers (47:04-56:52). Lolley closes his presentation with prayer (56:52-57:30). The guests are invited to meet the Hardins, and there is a benediction (57:31-58:21).
