DR. DON SALIERS SPEAKER FOR 2012 E. GLENN HINSON LECTURES

On March 5, the Seminary held the 4th annual E. Glenn Hinson Lectures. Dr. Don Saliers, the Wm. R. Cannon Professor of Theology and Worship, Emeritus, at Emory University in Atlanta GA, was this years featured speaker. Dr. Saliers, an accomplished musician, directed the Sacred Music Program at Emory and was organist/choirmaster at Chandler School of Theology for over 30 years.
Dr. Don Saliers

His lectures, based on the book of Psalms, explored how hymns, as well as non-verbal music, shape and express human emotion before God. He described the necessity of both doxology and lament in spiritual formation with concrete examples from the history of Christian worship and devotion. Dr. Saliers reminded us of the depth and wisdom of this most personal and intimate book of the Bible. Also during the afternoon event, two BSK alumni presented some of their original music. Pat Ham (09), Executive Director of the Kidney Health Alliance of Kentucky, writes and performs with the group Rahabs Rope. The Lexington group of Pat Ham, Jana Dean (keyboards) and Stephanie Reams sang several original compositions based on personal experiences and some gospel favorites with guitar accompaniment by Jimmy Adams.
Members of Rahabs Rope Clay Lester (10), the former Minister for Students/ Communications at First Baptist Church, Frankfort shared an ongoing music project which had its beginnings in an independent study course with Dr. Jackson. Using his laptop computer to digitally create music and influenced by such musical genres as hip-hop and techno, Clay is attempting to compose a contemporary musical interpretation of the Book of Amos. He talked about the origins of his project as well as his intentions and hopes for it, and played tracks from his project.

Clay Lester

BSK established the Hinson Lectures Series in 2009 to honor the life and work of Dr. E. Glenn Hinson and is designed to explore formational, foundational or future issues in the areas of Spiritual formation, spirituality, church history, ecumenism and Baptist history.

Dr. Saliers and Dr. Hinson

The date for the 2013 E. Glenn Hinson Lectures is set for March 4. The speaker for next years lectures will be Dr. Robin Jensen.

In November of this past year the Seminary lost a very dear friend in the death of Dr. Brad Curry. Brads life and ministry was a wonderful witness to Jesus. His love for Gods work was evident in the many churches he served, his oversight of the Doctor of Ministry program of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and especially in the lives touched by his care. Over the last ten years, Brad adopted and identified publically Baptist Seminary of Kentucky as his seminary. He prayed for us, told the BSK story, gave financially and encouraged others to contribute to the Seminary. Memorial gifts to honor the life and ministry of Dr. Bradford Curry have been received from the following: Mr. and Mrs. Randy Attkisson Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Bertram, Jr. Paris and Liz Burke Ottis and Sarah Lynn Cave Charles and Jeanette Creed Wayne and Carolyn Curry David and Roberta DeRossett Virginia Downing Greg and Nell Earwood

STUDENTS PREACH AT FESTIVAL EVENT

Baptist Seminary of Kentucky had two students participate in the third annual Festival of Young Preachers this past January in Louisville, KY.

Participants were: Roger Jasper, whose hometown is Somerset, KY, has several years of preaching experience. He now serves as pastor of the Living Faith Baptist Fellowship in Elizabethtown.

This annual festival is sponsored by the Academy of Preachers under the direction of Dr. Dwight A. Moody. In addition, three BSK students preached at the Armstrong Campus Festival of Young Preachers on September 19, 2011.
