Belmont names dean for spiritual development
Belmont University has named a new vice president for spiritual development.
Todd L. Lake, dean of university life at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, will start at Belmont in January. As vice president, he will oversee university ministries and church relations at the Baptist school, replacing Mack Hannah, who left last year to lead a church in Georgia.
Lake also has worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay and a refugee resettlement worker in Boston. He holds degrees from Harvard University, Southern Seminary and Boston College, where he earned a doctorate in systematic theology.
He and his wife, Joy Jordan-Lake, are in China this week to bring home their adopted daughter, who will be their third child.

| Our debt to Bill Moyers Former Peace Corps Deputy Director Bill Moyers leaves PBS next week to begin writing his memoir of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Read what Moyers says about journalism under fire, the value of a free press, and the yearning for democracy. "We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country," he warns, "or we'll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we'll not save democracy from its own inertia." |
| Is Gaddi Leaving? Rumors are swirling that Peace Corps Director Vasquez may be leaving the administration. We think Director Vasquez has been doing a good job and if he decides to stay to the end of the administration, he could possibly have the same sort of impact as a Loret Ruppe Miller. If Vasquez has decided to leave, then Bob Taft, Peter McPherson, Chris Shays, or Jody Olsen would be good candidates to run the agency. Latest: For the record, Peace Corps has no comment on the rumors. |
| The Birth of the Peace Corps UMBC's Shriver Center and the Maryland Returned Volunteers hosted Scott Stossel, biographer of Sargent Shriver, who spoke on the Birth of the Peace Corps. This is the second annual Peace Corps History series - last year's speaker was Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn. |
| Charges possible in 1976 PCV slaying Congressman Norm Dicks has asked the U.S. attorney in Seattle to consider pursuing charges against Dennis Priven, the man accused of killing Peace Corps Volunteer Deborah Gardner on the South Pacific island of Tonga 28 years ago.
