- 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).

- 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).

- David R. Beck was Professor of New Testament and Greek. He begins his lecture by speaking about the research he has been doing on his sabbatical and the topic of his lecture, evangelism in Luke-Acts (00:00-15:34).

Beck walks through many passages that speak about Jesus’ evangelistic proclamation in Luke and the evangelism of the apostles in Acts, and he concludes that evangelism was an intentional part of life in the early church, and it was powered by the will and sovereignty of God (20:16-50:36).

Dr. Stewart notes Christ’s conflict with the power of Satan during His earthly ministry and the work of the cross proved that God had ultimately won over those powers. The life of Jesus and His death were both ultimate victory (8:20-17:37). Dr. Stewart then states that God’s work is costly because God’s work is redemptive work, as Romans demonstrates.

- James W. Fowler was a theologian and Professor of Theology and Human Development in the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. This chapel was the second part of the Spring Lectures in March 1983 and titled “Covenant, Vocation, and Adult Development.” Chapel is opened in prayer and the Spring Lecture speaker, Dr. Fowler, is introduced (0:00-0:53). Dr. Fowler states that the focus of his lecture will be to respond to adult developmental theories and what it means to be human with the concepts of covenant and vocation (0:53-2:58). He discusses how faith in Christ frees humans to take on vocation and be in covenant with God. (2:58-11:00). He states that human vocation is to become partners in God’s creative, governing, and redemptive work (11:00-14:53). He notes that vocation and identity are closely linked and clarifies that vocation is the response of a person to the calling to partnership with God (14:53-23:25). Dr. Folwer contrasts vocation with destiny (23:25-29:38). He suggests that vocation in community is a better approach in life than pursual of destiny or self-actualization (29:38-35:23). Finally, he notes that vocation is dynamic (35:23-37:02). He concludes his lecture with thoughts on the relationship between pastoral care, specifically preaching and prayer, with vocation and covenant (37:02-52:57).

The interview concludes with Stroope stating that Southern Baptist must hold on to their distinctive while at the same time prioritizing the biblical mandate, and part of this priority means guarding the autonomy of indigenous churches (1:18:47-1:26:51).

- Robin Hadaway was Associate Professor of Missions at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. The interview begins with Hadaway giving the background of his life in ministry and his work with the International Missions Board (00:00-05:10). Hadaway talks about how the change of the Baptist Faith and Message effected the protocol in the IMB, and he shares a few stories about how the changes were received on the mission field (05:11-10:41). Hadaway says that he desired more theological assurance from his missionaries, and he talks about missionaries that left the IMB when the Conservative Resurgence occurred and when the BF&M was updated (10:42-16:51). He states that the main reasons some of his missionaries left the IMB was because they felt that the changes were put into effect without their personal input, and some left because that did not agree with the changes regarding women in ministry (16:52-18:59). Hadaway speaks about Ida Mae Hayes being ordained by her church in Brazil, and he feels mad about the situation because she lied to the IMB and is now pastoring in North Carolina (19:00-29:03). He makes a clarification that Ida Mae Hayes had no authority over pastors in her role as a director of missions in Brazil (29:04-32:09). In the final question of the interview, Hadaway says that he wants the IMB needs to put in place more perimeters regarding single women on the mission field, and he clarifies the statement given by the IMB on Ida Mae Hayes’ retirement (32:10-36:12).

He introduces and reads passages from 1 Corinthians 4 and Ephesians 2 and 3 (13:42-18:45).
