Former Chaplain to Queen of England to Speak at Baylor Feb. 12

February 11, 1997

Dr. John R.W. Stott, a former chaplain to the Queen of England, will speak at Baylor University during Chapel-Forum at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, in Waco Hall.
Stott served as a chaplain to the Queen from 1959-91 and currently serves as an extra chaplain. Serving as rector of All Souls Church in London from 1950-75, Stott is now rector emeritus of the church.
Stott was named director of the London Institute of Contemporary Christianity in 1982 and was named president of the organization in 1986. He is the author of 34 books, including The Contemporary Christian, The Cross of Christ and The Authentic Jesus. He has done mission work all over the world, particularly in third world countries.
In February 1996, Baylor named Stott as one of 12 individuals as the most effective preachers in the English-speaking world, according to a worldwide survey.
Many of the 12 preachers have visited or plan to visit Baylor to deliver sermons during the 1996-97 academic year and to receive the newly created "Baylor Great Preachers" award. Included in the great preachers list are the Rev. Billy Graham and Dr. Charles Swindoll.
