1. SEBTS Convocation - William Randall Lolley August 27, 1985

Description:
• William Randall Lolley was the 3rd president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with organ music, and the speaker gives a word of prayer (00:00-02:06). Lolley declares the beginning of the 35th academic year, and he recognizes some of the emerita faculty present in chapel (02:07-04:54). Dean Morris Ashcraft presents the Award for Faculty Excellence to Delos Miles, professor of Evangelism (04:55-08:05). John R. Morsette, Chairman of the Seminary Development Counsel, presents a check to Miles for his teaching service, and Lolley speaks about how Miles has remained headstrong through the death of his two brothers (08:06-10:45). Ashcraft delivers the Scripture reading from Matthew 19:16-20:16 (10:46-13:43). A soloist sings a song of worship (13:44-17:31). Lolley delivers an expository convocation address on the story of the rich young ruler and the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, and he reminds the audience of Christ’s generosity and his covenantal promises (17:31-37:48). Lolley concludes with a word about the Peace Committee in the Southern Baptist Convention, and he offers his theological solution in four words: Jesus Christ is Lord (37:49-41:44). The service ends with a word of prayer (41:45-42:27).
