CHICAGO — The president of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago has announced his resignation.
On Aug. 26, Joseph M. Stowell announced to students, faculty and staff of the evangelical organization that he would resign effective February 2005.
“Over the last few years I have had a growing and now unshakeable conviction that God is calling me to give myself singularly to His Word and its life-changing impact through the ministry of preaching and teaching,” Stowell said in a statement.
The institute, founded in 1886 by Dwight Lyman Moody, includes undergraduate and graduate schools, Moody Publishers and the Moody Broadcasting Network.
Stowell, 60, has been president since 1987 and recently led the restructuring of the ministries of the institute to focus on education broadcasting and publishing.
