David Tolliver Resigns as Head of Missouri Baptist Convention Over “Immoral Behavior with a Woman”
David Tolliver quit his post as the executive director of the 600,000-member Missouri Baptist Convention over “immoral behavior.”
The MBC issued a terse press release Friday:
With deep regret we announce, Dr. David Tolliver has resigned as Executive Director of the Missouri Baptist Convention due to immoral behavior with a woman. His resignation is effective immediately. Jay Hughes, Associate Executive Director of Support Services, will serve as acting interim executive director until a permanent Interim executive director is named by the Executive Board.
Ironically (but of no surprise, at least to anyone who follows Southern Baptist news), Tolliver, notes the Post-Dispatch, “had been named as the interim director in 2007, after the board fired his predecessor, the Rev. David Clippard for what an investigative committee at the time called ‘rumors affecting (Clippard’s) character.’”
