Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, has been hospitalized due to blood clots in both of his lungs. 

The seminary tweeted a statement on Mohler’s health on Saturday. 

“Dr. Albert R. Mohler, President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, is currently hospitalized with a diagnosis of bilateral pulmonary emboli (blood clots in both lungs). He is receiving excellent care and is responding well to treatment. He looks forward to returning to a full schedule, including The Briefing in coming days. He and Mrs. Mohler appreciate your prayers!

Mohler, 63, has led the seminary since 1993 and has presided over tremendous growth at the seminary as well as the launch of a successful undergraduate arm—Boyce College, according to Baptist Press
