Frank S. Page, president and CEO of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee (EC), announced today his immediate retirement over a “personal indiscretion.”
“It is with deep regret that I tender my resignation from the SBC Executive Committee and announce my retirement from active ministry, effective immediately. As a result of a personal failing, I have embarrassed my family, my Lord, myself, and the Kingdom. Out of a desire to protect my family and those I have hurt, I initially announced my retirement earlier today without a complete explanation. However, after further wrestling with my personal indiscretion, it became apparent to me that this situation must be acknowledged in a more forthright manner. It is my most earnest desire in the days to come to rebuild the fabric of trust with my wife and daughters, those who know me best and love me most.”
Page, 65, as EC president, has held a key role in coordinating the work of the convention’s national ministries and also has been a speaker in many Alabama Baptist churches and conferences through the years. (TAB)
