MIAMI — Former Southern Baptist Convention president Adrian Rogers is recovering in a Miami hospital after suffering a mild heart attack Jan. 10.
Rogers, pastor of the sprawling Bellevue Baptist Church in Cordova, Tenn., underwent surgery for a blocked artery Jan. 11 at South Miami Hospital. He is expected to make a full recovery, doctors said.
Rogers was in Cozumel, Mexico, preaching on a Bible study cruise when he suffered the attack. He was flown to Miami for treatment.
Rogers said he was resting comfortably and was “reading the book of Revelation.” Rogers is pastor of the 27,000-member Bellevue Baptist Church. He served three times as president of the SBC.
