Black Clergy: October conferences set as history month concludes

Monday, February 28, 2005

[Episcopal News Service] African American clergy in the Episcopal Church
are
invited to attend the 7th Triennial Black Clergy Conference, October
23-26,
2005, in Atlanta, and a Convocation for the Newly Ordained (10 years and
younger) October 26-27, the New York-based Office of Black Ministries
has
announced.

Announcement of the conferences, to be held at the Emory Conference
Center
Hotel, comes at the conclusion of a full calendar of events marking
February
as Black History Month and affirming the ministry of Black Episcopalians
across the church, including the February 24 dedication of a new
archival
collection at the Virginia Theological Seminary (please see Episcopal
News
Service archives for related stories.)

A new poster and booklet featuring Black Episcopal bishops through
history
is also now available, priced at $9.95 plus $7.50 shipping and handling,
through Episcopal Parish Services
http://www.episcopalparishservices.org.

Theme for the clergy gatherings will be "On Thy People, Pour Thy Power:
Continuing the Journey," notes the Rev. Angela Ifill, missioner for
black
ministries across the Episcopal Church. The theme is drawn from a well
known
hymn text.

Early registration is encouraged. Further information may be obtained by
