KANSAS CITY — Representatives from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MBTS) and the Missouri Baptist Convention (MBC) signed an agreement April 25 to establish the seminary’s first fully endowed chair.
The agreement concerns $577,728 that the MBC has given to establish the Chair of Missions / Evangelism. Anthony Allen, MBTS senior vice president of administration, presided over the ceremony as MBTS Interim President Robin Hadaway and MBC Executive Director John Yeats formally signed the agreement. MBTS leaders did not say when the chair will be filled.
“This is a wonderful occasion in the life of our institution and the first, we hope, of many (chairs),” Allen said.
