ST. LOUIS | The Missouri Baptist Convention says its executive director has resigned because of what it describes as "immoral behavior with a woman."

The Rev. David Tolliver had led the 600,000-member state arm of the Southern Baptist Convention since February 2009. The organization said in a news release Friday that his departure is immediate.

The release said that one of the organization's leaders, Jay Hughes, will fill in as executive director until a permanent replacement is named.

No additional details were provided, and the Missouri Baptist Convention was closed Sunday. There was no immediate response to e-mail messages that The Associated Press sent to two of the organization's officials. Tolliver also didn't return a phone call from the AP.
