(AgapePress) - Dr. Adrian Rogers, a three-time president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and pastor emeritus of the 28,000-member Bellevue Baptist Church near Memphis, Tennessee, went home to his eternal reward on Tuesday (Nov. 15). Tributes are pouring in from around the United States for the man many credit for helping the SBC remain faithful to its conservative roots.

Dr. Rogers, 74, passed away on Tuesday after battling cancer and double pneumonia. He had been hospitalized earlier this month for treatment. In addition to pastoring Bellevue for 32 years, he also founded Love Worth Finding Ministries, which produces broadcasts heard on Christian radio and television stations around the world. Bill Skelton, executive vice president of Love Worth Finding, says Rogers wanted the broadcasts to continue after his home-going.
