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 contacting the Office of Black Ministries at the Episcopal Church Center in New York, telephone: 800.334.7626, and online at http://www.episcopalchurch.org/5888_58563_ENG_HTM.htm.
