- Description:
- Audio quality is very poor. Thomas H. Conley was the senior minister of North Side Drive Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. The service begins with organ music (00:00-02:50). The speaker gives a word of prayer (02:51-04:18). Thomas H. Conley is introduced as the Adams Lecturer, and the speaker reads from 2 Timothy 4:1-8 (04:19-09:30). The choir sings the anthem (09:31-12:00). The title of Conley’s lecture is “The Preacher As.” He begins his lecture by thanking everyone for their gratitude during his visit, and he states his belief that the Baptist tradition can be wedded to the greater liturgical tradition to the universal and historic church (12:01-14:12). Conley’s major point is the preacher as a theologian, and he says that the preacher’s responsibility is to always be prepared to deliver good theological truth and train their people to be good theologians as well. Most of the lecture is inaudible (14:13-55:39). The service ends with a benediction (55:40-56:05).

- Description:
- Thomas H. Conley was the senior minister of North Side Drive Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. The service begins with President Randall Lolley welcoming everyone to the pastor’s seminar, and he gives an endorsement of a book written by Dr. James Tull (00:00-04:45). Lolley gives a word of prayer (04:46-05:19). A moment of silence is given for Theodore F. Adams, and Thomas H. Conley is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (05:20-11:03). The choir sings the anthem (11:04-12:10). Conley begins his lecture giving a word of honor to Theodore F. Adams and a word of thanks to Morris Ashcraft, John Carlton, and Furman Hewitt (12:11-16:28). The tittle and theme of Conley’s lecture is “Assumptions of the Preaching Ministry.” He says his first assumption is that there is one body of Christ, and he focuses on the one baptism and how this principle effects a church’s membership policy (16:29-25:28). Conley’s second assumption looks at Christian education, and he says that effective preaching should have an element of teaching to equip the saints (25:29-33:33). Conley’s third assumption looks at worship, and he urges Baptists to return to the great liturgical tradition of the church (33:34-42:21). Conley’s fourth assumption is none of the above assumptions, and he focuses on the laity that need the hope that comes through the preaching (42:22-52:55). President Lolley ends the service with a word of prayer (52:56-53:44).

- Description:
- Thomas H. Conley was the senior minister of North Side Drive Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. The service begins with organ music (00:00-04:09). The speaker gives a word of prayer (04:10-05:24). Thomas H. Conley is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (05:25-10:16). The choir sings the anthem (10:17-13:07). Conley begins his lecture by inviting everyone to an afternoon talk, and he introduces his theme of reorienting worship back to its historical and Christological roots (13:08-18:44). Conley lists many early liturgical texts from the early church, and he explains the importance of the centrality of the Eucharist in Christian worship and a church calendar centered on the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ (18:45-33:21). Conley walks through the Christian year as it is celebrated at his church, North Side Drive, and he says that these practices help the people of God see all aspects of Christ and his ministry and promote ecumenism (33:22-47:10). Conley concludes by giving his critique of the pulpit centered religious entertainment culture of the evangelical church, and he urges them to retrieve their historical, liturgical, and Christ-centered practices of worship (47:11-55:42). The service ends with a word of prayer (55:43-56:59).
