2. THE TENNESSEE ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The Tennessee Annual Conference is meeting in Murfreesboro, Tennessee this week. The Right Reverend Vashti Murphy McKenzie is the presiding prelate for the 13th Episcopal District. Brother Stan McKenzie is the WMS Supervisor. Allen Chapel AME Church is hosting the Tennessee Annual Conference; the Reverend Keith R. Mayes, Sr. is the pastor. Bishop Henry Belin is preaching the Ordination Sermon today. The Reverend Sidney F. Bryant, pastor of Payne Chapel AME Church, Nashville delivered the Annual Sermon. The Reverend Roderick Belin, pastor of Kairos Community African Methodist Episcopal Church that was planted in February 2005 read a resolution from the members of the church requesting that it be received and accepted as a station charge and the Annual Conference voted to accept their resolution and receive Kairos Community AME Church as a station church.
Bishop McKenzie and Supervisor Stan McKenzie have brought innovative changes to the Episcopal District and the sense of camaraderie and purpose is evident throughout the Conference. The WMS had its program on Monday and the preachers had their institute, the School f the Prophets on Monday. Ethics and Decisionmaking were two of the presentations available for the clergy. Bishop McKenzie was the instructor for AME 101 in which she shared the history and traditions of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She also shared with the preacher the importance of the Church’s annuity and retirement programs. She went point by point to insure that everyone understood the programs available to the ministers. Comments heard were, “Relevant, meaningful, helpful and instructive.”
The opening service was held at First United Methodist Church in Murfreesboro. The physical plant of the church is awesome. The sanctuary was large enough and comfortable for worship. I thought, and asked Dr. Richard Lewis who sat next to me, “Why can’t we AMEs have structures like this?” He explained that the First Methodist Church, Murfreesboro was left $15 million dollars in a Will by a deceased member of the church. The stipulation was that the congregation builds the church within five years. We General Officers talked about it later and I asked if the AME Church had any millionaires. We have millionaires but we have not had millionaires in significant numbers to leave enough to build new churches. Dr. Lewis remarked that the AME Church might benefit from a program that encourages people of wealth and people with regular incomes to bequeath their inheritance and money to AME congregations with specific instruction on how their money should be used. We have not done a good job with that. Other folks in other denominations do it all of the time. It is a wonderful legacy for people who love the AME Church and whose “talk matches their walk.”
As good as it sounds, I have notion that we do not trust one another and that we have the mentality that I heard Bishop Cousin speak about a couple of weeks ago, that, “Their ice is colder than our ice.”
3. MORE GENERAL OFFICERS RESIDE IN THE TENNESSEE ANNUAL CONFERENCE THAN IN ANY OTHER EPISCOPAL DISTRICT:
The Tennessee Annual Conference has two General Officers who answer the roll call, the Reverend Dr. Dennis Dickerson and the Reverend Dr. Clement Fugh. Dr. Richard Lewis is also a member of the Tennessee Annual Conference (Lee Chapel, Nashville, Tennessee). More General Officers reside in the Tennessee Annual Conference than any other Conference in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. General Officers Dennis C. Dickerson, Richard Allen Lewis, Clement Fugh, Johnny Barbour, Jr., Daryl B. Ingram, and Calvin H. Sydnor III reside in the Tennessee Annual Conference. General Officers Jerome V. Harris and James C. Wade reside in the West Tennessee Annual Conference. /Eight of the nine General Officers of the denomination live in Tennessee. Dr. George F. Flowers lives and has his office in Charleston, South Carolina.
4. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
- Dear Editor
A couple of comments referencing your editorial below -
I was able to watch some of the service on CNN (with interruptions and commentary). I too was indeed pleased to see a number of our bishops present, as well as layman Ted Harris (I am sure other AME laity and clergy were present, too). It was indeed noteworthy that Rev. Ellis be acknowledged for opening the doors of his church to the country and the world for such a high profile service. I was however surprised at the following:
(a) That he was listed for the "Welcome and Purpose". Although the program does not outright list a chief celebrant for the service, appearances seem to suggest that he was; I dare say that if the roles were reversed, that he would have wanted to (should have been) be the celebrant for one of his denomination's members. It would seem to "me" that the proper thing would have been for him to defer, to a greater degree, to the AMEC. Except for the eulogy (being given by Bishop Cousin), an onlooker might have come away with the opinion that she was a member of Rev. Ellis' church/denomination.
(b) the protocol ball was indeed dropped or overlooked; it should have been mentioned to **each person on program** what the AME protocol was (or at a minimum the mention of the Senior Bishop and the other AME Bishops should have been acknowledged), followed by whomever else the person speaking might have wanted to acknowledge.
This was a "global" funeral, as Rosa Parks had indeed become a "citizen of the world" ... so, some things were bound to take on a life of their own as dignitaries from various religious backgrounds paid their respects and I'm sure it was no small undertaking for those who pulled the program together.
I doubt if any of us will see the likes of a funeral service of this magnitude for an AME in our lifetime (I hope someone will prove me wrong, as there are countless ordinary individuals among us performing selfless and extraordinary acts; history will be the judge).
(c) With regards to a protocol listing, I would like to suggest a booklet that was available at the recent Lay Biennial entitled "Protocol and Etiquette in the AME Church". I have scanned a couple of the pages (for your perusal) that reference what you suggest. No need to reinvent the wheel, if you do not have to.

Reference article on AME Protocol
Consider that the General Conference elects the members of the Judicial Council. Their position should be at a minimum behind the General Officers and before the Connectional Officers who are elected by components of the AMEC.

- Dear Editor
Correction.
Thank you for publishing the article about St. John, Nashville, Tennessee so quickly. It will go a long way toward dispelling the myth of the "Demise" of St. John, Nashville.
We are excited about what God is doing at St. John, and want to spread the word. I would like to make one correction. I noticed that I was listed as "Sister" Erskine Lytle. I am definitely a male. Mine is not an everyday name so I know it is an honest mistake.
Thanks again for the article.
Brother Erskine Lytle III

6. ROSA PARKS' TRUSTEE HEADS OFF EBAY BID WAR:
Adam Shakoor, a trustee for Rosa Parks Foundation is stepping in to prevent a bidding war for programs from the civil rights pioneer's funeral. He is making more copies available.. A bidder offered more than $150 for one of the programs. Ten-thousand funeral bulletins were handed out at Parks' funeral.
The issue arose after a bidder on the online auction site eBay offered more than $150 for one of the 14-page, photo-filled programs.
Shakoor said, "People are exploiting it and We are very concerned about that."

12. VOTING RIGHTS’ LAW:
For those of you who may not have received a response to the "rumor" of African Americans losing our right to vote, please read the paragraph below and rest assured that we are not in danger of losing this right.
Certain provisions of the Voting Rights Act expire in 2007, such as the pre-clearance and bilingual provisions. The pre-clearance provision requires that state and local political divisions, with a known history of discrimination, submit proposed changes in voting laws in an effort to ensure the federal government's ability to prevent any laws that promote discrimination. Additionally, in 1975, the Voting Rights Act was amended to meet the demands of a growing bilingual population, and requires bilingual ballots in parts of the country where there is a significant second language influence. We should make sure that our Congressional representatives do all they can to support making these provisions of the Voting rights Act permanent before their expiration to ensure that all citizens have equal ability to make their voices heard.

13. IMPROVING CANCER SURVIVAL BY UNDERSTANDING RACIAL / ETHNIC DISPARITIES:
National Cancer Institute (NCI) Science Writers' Seminar Series with the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) at Columbia University Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia
- Each day, 3,400 Americans are diagnosed with cancer and another 1,500 die from the disease. The burden of cancer is often greater for the poor, for ethnic minorities and for the uninsured.
- Many ethnic minorities experience lower cancer survival rates than whites. For example, despite a lower breast cancer incidence, African American women have significantly worse survival rates from breast cancer than Caucasian women.
- Differences in biological tumor types, timeliness of treatment, or lack of compliance with treatment regimens appear to influence outcomes.
- Please, join us for discussions about how NCI and the HICCC are working to reduce cancer health disparities through innovative programs that address prevention, diagnosis and treatment ON Wednesday, November 30, 2005, 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
*Tours will be offered of the Irving Cancer Research Center, a new 300,000 sq. ft. facility at Columbia University Medical Center, dedicated entirely to investigators conducting disease-specific research of many cancers – breast, colon, lung, prostate, gastric, pancreatic, brain, lymphoma and tumor immunology.

15. WITNESS FOR JUSTICE #242 - MUCH LONGER THAN A FOUR YEAR TERM:
By M. Linda Jaramillo
One of the things that employees of public institutions readily recognize is that things change at work every time someone new gets elected to the governing board be it the school board, city or county council, state legislature, or those elected to leadership in the federal government. As a former public employee and elected official with 35 years experience in public schools, county, and state government, I can attest to the ever-nebulous reality that runs through the halls of government.
A former colleague, who was an assistant to a county commissioner, told me something several years ago, that continues to strike a chord every time I look at public governance. She said that because the elected official only has an assurance of a four-year (or two-year) window to influence change, change has to happen fast and the new official must make sure it is radically different to ensure that she or he gets credit for it. Elected officials espouse intentions for the long-term improvement of the community, but truly realize that the direction will likely change in the short term -- following the next election.
The purpose of an election varies from region to region or state to state; but in all of them, there is someone trying to change or challenge what is going on at the time. Regardless of who they are; candidates are intent on improving the function of government and the betterment of society in one way or another. One of the famous lines often used by candidates is, are you better off than you were four years ago?
Every year, no matter what year it is, as we approach the month of November, we are reminded of Election Day by a barrage of expensive advertisements promoting a cause or a person. In a media-driven society, a candidates success is usually measured by the amount of money he or she raises for the campaign rather than the number of votes he or she receives. I fully believe in democracy and participation in the process; however, it does not surprise me that our election systems are discouraging more and more people. We should all be very concerned by the disinterest in voting because the results of an election have far-reaching implications for our children and their children.
While four years is the standard term of office, we are faced with long-lasting effects of each newly elected official’s urgent need to change something and make it radically different. This is especially true in the Presidential elections due to the far-reaching implications throughout the world. The impact of the tenure of this U.S. President has already had long-lasting and devastating affects on generations to come.
This President’s two four-year terms will live on and on and on. The national debt will be so large that the possibility of ever balancing a federal budget again seems unlikely. The millions of children being left behind by this President's educational policies will have serious consequences in the national arena. The damage to the environment because of current social policy will require a serious reversal by future generations for the earth to survive the next century. International relationships and trust in the United States across the world will take years to rebuild. The potential appointment of up to four Supreme Court Justices by this President in this four-year term could dismantle decades of civil and gender rights assurances fought for long and hard by our parents and grandparents.
Last week, our nation honored Ms. Rosa Parks and her courageous struggle for racial justice; why would we now consider a Justice (Samuel A. Alito, Jr.) whose record on matters that effect women and people of color are dismally contrary to those of Ms. Parks.
We claim to have a balance of power in our three houses of government; our fore-bearers vision of a balance of power in government is not even close to being realized today. Cronyism in Supreme Court appointments has become an accepted practice in this country cronyism that only leads to putting those in power with common ideologies rather than a competency and commitment to unbiased constitutional interpretation. In this four-year term, the court that represents the last resort for those seeking the last word of justice may be faced with a dangerously one-sided panel of justices that has little diversity of opinion. The court of last resort must be a place of integrity, living up to the ideals of the Constitution not to the ideals of its members.
This President's tenure in office will live on and on and on. Next November, or any other time elections roll around; remember to go to polls with an eye toward the long-range future.

2. A CONFERÊNCIA ANUAL DE TENNESSEE
A conferência anual de Tennessee está encontrando-se comem Murfreesboro, Tennessee esta semana. O Reverend direito Vashti Murphy McKenzie é o prelate presiding para o 13o distrito Episcopal. O irmão Stan McKenzie é o supervisor de WMS. A igreja do Chapel AME de Allen está hospedando a conferência anual de Tennessee; o Reverend Keith R. Mayes, Sr. é o pastor. O Bishop Henry Belin preaching o Sermon de Ordination hoje. O Reverend Sidney F. Bryant, pastorda igreja do Chapel AME de Payne, Nashville entregou o Sermon anual. O Reverend Roderick Belin, pastor da igreja Episcopal Methodist africana da comunidade de Kairos que foi plantada em fevereiro 2005 leu uma definição dos membros da igreja que pedem que estivesse recebido e aceitado como uma carga da estação e a conferência anual votaram para aceitar sua definição e para recebera igreja da comunidade AME de Kairos como uma igreja da estação.
O Bishop McKenzie e supervisor Stan McKenzie trouxe mudanças inovativas ao distrito Episcopal e o sentido do camaraderie e da finalidade é evidente durante todo a conferência. O WMS teve seu programa em segunda-feira e os preachers tiveram seu instituto, a escola f os Prophets em segunda-feira. As éticas e a tomada de decisão eram duas das apresentações disponíveis para o clergy. O Bishop McKenzie era o instrutor para AME 101 em que compartilhou do history e das tradições da igreja Episcopal Methodist africana. Compartilhou também com o preacher da importância dos programas do annuity e da aposentadoria da igreja. Foi ponto pelo ponto para segurar que todos compreendeu os programas disponíveis aos ministros. Os comentários ouvidos eram, “relevante, significativo, útil e instructive.”
O serviço da abertura foi prendido na igrejaMethodist início unida em Murfreesboro. A planta física da igreja é awesome. O sanctuary era grande bastante e confortável para a adoração. Eu pensei, e perguntei ao Dr.Richard Lewis que se sentou ao lado de mim, “porque não podemos nósAMEs ter estruturas como este?” Explicou quea primeira igreja Methodist, Murfreesboro estêve deixada os dólares $15 milhões na vontade de a por um membro falecido da igreja. A estipulação era que o congregation constrói a igreja dentro de cinco anos. Nós general Oficial falamos sobre ela mais tarde e eu perguntei sea igreja de AME tivesse algum millionaires. Nós temos millionaires mas nós não tivemos millionaires nos números significativos para deixar bastantes para construir igrejas novas. O Dr. Lewis observou quea igreja de AME pôde se beneficiar de um programa que incentivasse povos da riqueza e povos com rendas regulares bequeath seus inheritance e dinheiro aos congregations de AME com instrução específica em como seu dinheiro deve ser usado. Nós não fizemos um trabalho bom com aquele. Outros povos em outras denominações fazem-no toda a hora. É um legacy maravilhoso para o pessoa que amama igreja de AME e o cujo a “conversa combina sua caminhada.”
Tão bom quanto ele soa, eu tenho a noção que nós não confiamos em um outro e que nós temos o mentality que eu ouvi o Bishop Primo falar aproximadamente hà duas semanas, aquele, “seu gelo está mais frio do que nosso gelo.”
3. UNS OFICIAIS MAIS GERAIS RESIDEMNA CONFERÊNCIA ANUAL DE TENNESSEE DO QUE EM TODO O OUTRO DISTRITO EPISCOPAL:

4. LETRAS AO EDITOR
- Caro Editor
Um par dos comentários que referencing seu editorial abaixo -
Eu podia prestar atenção a algum do serviço no CNN (com interruptions e commentary). Eu fui satisfeito demasiado certamente ver um número nossos de bishops atuais, as well as o layman Ted Harris (eu sou certo que o outro laity e o clergy de AME estavam atual, demasiado). Era certamente noteworthy que o Rev. Ellis estivesse reconhecido abrindo as portas de sua igreja ao país e do mundo para um serviço tão elevado do perfil. Eu entretanto fui surpreendido no seguinte:
(a) Que estêve alistado para a “boa vinda e a finalidade”. Embora o programa não lista outright um celebrant principal para o serviço, as aparências parecem sugerir que era; Eu ouso a palavra que se os papéis fossem invertidos, isso que teria quis (deve ter sido) seja o celebrant para um de membros da sua denominação. Pareceria “mim” isso que a coisa apropriada seria para que adíe, a um grau mais grande, ao AMEC. À exceção do eulogy (sendo dado pelo Bishop Primo), um espectador pôde ter vindo afastado com a opinião que era um membro da igreja/denominação do Rev. Ellis.
(b) a esfera do protocolo certamente foi deixada cair ou negligenciada; deve-se ter mencionado ao ** cada pessoa no ** do programa o que o protocolo de AME era (ou em um mínimo o mention do Bishop sênior e dos outros Bishops de AME deve ter sido reconhecido), seguido perto whomever mais o discurso da pessoa pôde ter quis reconhecer.
Este era um funeral “global”, porque os parques de Rosa tinham assentado bem certamente em um “cidadão do mundo”… assim, algumas coisas foi limitado à tomada em uma vida do seus próprios porque os dignitaries dos vários fundos religiosos pagaram seus respeitos e eu sou certo que não era nenhum empreendimento pequeno para aqueles que puxaram o programa junto.
Eu duvido se alguns de nós virem os gostos de um serviço funeral deste valor para um AME em nossa vida (a esperança de I alguém me provará erradamente, porque há indivíduos ordinários incontáveis entre nós que executam atos selfless e extraordinários; o history será o juiz).
(c) Com consideração a uma lista do protocolo, eu gostaria de sugerir um livreto que estivesse disponível protocolo intitulado Biennial e no Etiquette da configuração recente no “na igreja de AME”.

Para aqueles de você que não pode ter recebido uma resposta ao “boato” dos americanos africanos que perdem nossa direita votar, para satisfazer leia o parágrafo abaixo e descanse assegurado que nós não estamos no perigo de perder esta direita.
Determinadas provisões do ato das direitas votando expiram em 2007, tal como o pre-afastamento e as provisões bilíngües. A provisão do pre-afastamento requer que o estado e as divisões políticas locais, com um history sabido da discriminação, submetem mudanças propostas em leis votando em um esforço assegurar a abilidade de governo federal de impedir todas as leis que promoverem a discriminação. Adicionalmente, em 1975, o ato das direitas votando foi emendado para encontrar-se com as demandas de uma população bilíngüe crescente, e requer cédulas bilíngües nas partes do país onde há uma segunda influência significativa da língua. Nós devemos certificar-se de que nossos representantes congressionais fazem tudo eles lata para suportar fazer estas provisões do ato das direitas votando permanentes antes que sua expiração para se assegurar de que todos os cidadãos tivessem a abilidade igual de fazer suas vozes se ouviu.

Série do seminário dos escritores nacionais da ciência do instituto do Cancer (NCI) como centro detalhado do Cancer de Herbert Irving (HICCC)no centro médico da universidade de Colômbia e no hospital/Colômbia York-Presbyterian novos
- Cada dia, 3.400 americanos são diagnosticados com cancer e um outro dado 1.500 da doença. O burden do cancer é frequentemente mais grande para os pobres, para minorities étnicos e para o não segurado.
- Muitos minorities étnicos experimentam umas taxas mais baixas da sobrevivência do cancer do que brancos. Por exemplo, apesar de uma incidência mais baixa do cancer de peito, as mulheres americanas africanas têm umas taxas significativamente mais más da sobrevivência do cancer de peito do que mulheres caucasianos.
- As diferenças em tipos biológicos do tumor, em timeliness do tratamento, ou em falta da conformidade com regimens de tratamento parecem influenciar resultados.

15. TESTEMUNHA PARA A JUSTIÇA #242 - MUITO MAIS POR MUITO TEMPO DO QUE UM TERMO DE QUATRO ANOS:
Por M. Linda Jaramillo
Uma das coisas que os empregados de instituições públicas reconhecem prontamente é que as coisas mudam no trabalho todas as vezes alguém novo começa eleita à placa governando seja ele a placa da escola, o conselho da cidade oude condado, a legislatura de estado, ou as aquelas eleitos à liderança no governo federal. Como um empregado público anterior e um oficial eleito com 35 anos de experiência em escolas públicas, em condado, e em governo do estado, eu posso atestar à realidade sempre-nebulous que funciona através dos salões do governo.
Um colega anterior, que fosse um assistente a um comissário do condado, disse-me que algo diversos anos há, que continua a golpear todas as vezes uma corda mim olhe o governance público. Disse que porque o oficial eleito tem somente uma garantia de uma janela four-year (ou two-year) para influenciar a mudança, mude tem que acontecer rapidamente e o oficial novo deve se certificar que é radical diferente se assegurar de que ou começassem o crédito para ele. Os oficiais eleitos espouse intenções para a melhoria a longo prazo da comunidade, mas realizam verdadeiramente que o sentido mudará provavelmente no a curto prazo -- depois da eleição seguinte.
A finalidade de uma eleição varia da região à região ou do estado ao estado; mas em todo, há alguém que tenta mudar ou desafiar o que está indo sobre naquele tempo. Não obstante quem são; os candidatos são atentos em melhorar a função do governo e o betterment da sociedade no one-way ou outros. Uma das linhas famosas usadas frequentemente por candidatos está, é você mais melhor fora de do que você era quatro anos há?
Cada ano, não importa o que ano é, porque nós aproximamos o mês de novembro, nós é lembrado do dia de eleição por um barrage das propagandas caras que promovem uma causa ou uma pessoa. Em uma sociedade meio-dirigida, um sucesso dos candidatos é medido geralmente pela quantidade de dinheiro ele ou levanta para a campanha melhor que o número dos votos ele ou recebe. Eu acredito inteiramente na democracia e na participação no processo; entretanto, não me surpreende que nossos sistemas da eleição estão desanimando mais e mais povos. Nós devemos todos ser muito interessados pelo mais disinterest em votar porque os resultados de uma eleição têm implicações far-reaching para nossas crianças e suas crianças.
Quando quatro anos forem o termo de escritório padrão, nós estamos enfrentados com efeitos long-lasting da necessidade urgente de cada oficial recentemente eleito mudar algo e fazê-lo radical diferente. Isto é especial verdadeiro nas eleições presidenciais devido às implicações far-reaching durante todo o mundo. O impacto do tenure deste presidente de ESTADOS UNIDOS tem tido já long-lasting e devastating afeta em gerações para vir.
Os termos four-year deste presidente dois viverão sobre e sobre e sobre. O débito nacional será assim grande que a possibilidade sempre de balançar um orçamento federal parece outra vez improvável. Os milhões das crianças que estão sendo saidas atrás por políticas educacionais deste presidente terão conseqüências sérias na arena nacional. Os danos ao ambiente por causa da política social atual requererão uma reversão séria pelas gerações futuras para a terra sobreviver o século seguinte. Os relacionamentos e a confiança internacionaisnos Estados Unidos através do mundo farão exame de anos à reconstrucção. A nomeação potencial de até quatro justiças da corte suprema por este presidente neste termo four-year podia desmontar décadas das garantias civis e do gender das direitas lutadas por longo e por duro por nossos pais e grandparents.
Última semana, nossa nação honrou parques do ms Rosa e seu esforço courageous para a justiça racial; porque nós agora consideraríamos um registro da justiça (Samuel A. Alito, Jr.) cujo nas matérias que efetuam mulheres e povos da cor seja dismally contrário àqueles do ms estaciona.
Nós reivindicamos ter um contrapeso de poder em nossas três casas do governo; nossa visão dos frente-portadores de um contrapeso de poder no governo não é uniforme perto de ser realizado hoje. Cronyism em nomeações da corte suprema transformou-se uma prática aceitada neste cronyism do país que conduz somente a pôr aqueles no poder com ideologies comuns melhor que a um competency e no compromisso à interpretação constitutional unbiased. Neste termo four-year, a corte que representa o último recurso para aquelas que procuram a última palavra da justiça pode ser enfrentada com um painel perigosamente simples das justiças que tenha pouca diversidade da opinião. A corte do último recurso deve ser um lugar da integridade, vivendo até os ideals do Constitution não aos ideals de seus membros.
O tenure deste presidente no escritório viverá sobre e sobre e sobre. Novembro seguinte, ou todas as outras eleições do tempo rolam ao redor; recorde ir às votações com um olho para o futuro de longo alcance.

2. A CONFERÊNCIA ANUAL DE TENNESSEE
A conferência anual de Tennessee está encontrando-se comem Murfreesboro, Tennessee esta semana. O Reverend direito Vashti Murphy McKenzie é o prelate presiding para o 13o distrito Episcopal. O irmão Stan McKenzie é o supervisor de WMS. A igreja do Chapel AME de Allen está hospedando a conferência anual de Tennessee; o Reverend Keith R. Mayes, Sr. é o pastor. O Bishop Henry Belin preaching o Sermon de Ordination hoje. O Reverend Sidney F. Bryant, pastorda igreja do Chapel AME de Payne, Nashville entregou o Sermon anual. O Reverend Roderick Belin, pastor da igreja Episcopal Methodist africana da comunidade de Kairos que foi plantada em fevereiro 2005 leu uma definição dos membros da igreja que pedem que estivesse recebido e aceitado como uma carga da estação e a conferência anual votaram para aceitar sua definição e para recebera igreja da comunidade AME de Kairos como uma igreja da estação.
O Bishop McKenzie e supervisor Stan McKenzie trouxe mudanças inovativas ao distrito Episcopal e o sentido do camaraderie e da finalidade é evidente durante todo a conferência. O WMS teve seu programa em segunda-feira e os preachers tiveram seu instituto, a escola f os Prophets em segunda-feira. As éticas e a tomada de decisão eram duas das apresentações disponíveis para o clergy. O Bishop McKenzie era o instrutor para AME 101 em que compartilhou do history e das tradições da igreja Episcopal Methodist africana. Compartilhou também com o preacher da importância dos programas do annuity e da aposentadoria da igreja. Foi ponto pelo ponto para segurar que todos compreendeu os programas disponíveis aos ministros. Os comentários ouvidos eram, “relevante, significativo, útil e instructive.”
O serviço da abertura foi prendido na igrejaMethodist início unida em Murfreesboro. A planta física da igreja é awesome. O sanctuary era grande bastante e confortável para a adoração. Eu pensei, e perguntei ao Dr.Richard Lewis que se sentou ao lado de mim, “porque não podemos nósAMEs ter estruturas como este?” Explicou quea primeira igreja Methodist, Murfreesboro estêve deixada os dólares $15 milhões na vontade de a por um membro falecido da igreja. A estipulação era que o congregation constrói a igreja dentro de cinco anos. Nós general Oficial falamos sobre ela mais tarde e eu perguntei sea igreja de AME tivesse algum millionaires. Nós temos millionaires mas nós não tivemos millionaires nos números significativos para deixar bastantes para construir igrejas novas. O Dr. Lewis observou quea igreja de AME pôde se beneficiar de um programa que incentivasse povos da riqueza e povos com rendas regulares bequeath seus inheritance e dinheiro aos congregations de AME com instrução específica em como seu dinheiro deve ser usado. Nós não fizemos um trabalho bom com aquele. Outros povos em outras denominações fazem-no toda a hora. É um legacy maravilhoso para o pessoa que amama igreja de AME e o cujo a “conversa combina sua caminhada.”
Tão bom quanto ele soa, eu tenho a noção que nós não confiamos em um outro e que nós temos o mentality que eu ouvi o Bishop Primo falar aproximadamente hà duas semanas, aquele, “seu gelo está mais frio do que nosso gelo.”
3. UNS OFICIAIS MAIS GERAIS RESIDEMNA CONFERÊNCIA ANUAL DE TENNESSEE DO QUE EM TODO O OUTRO DISTRITO EPISCOPAL:
A conferência anual de Tennessee tem dois o general Oficial que responde à chamada do rolo, ao Dr. Dennis Dickerson de Reverend e ao Dr. Clement Fugh de Reverend. O Dr.Richard Lewis é também um membro da conferência anual de Tennessee (Lee Chapel, Nashville, Tennessee). Mais o general Oficial reside na conferência anual de Tennessee do que toda a outra conferência na igreja Episcopal Methodist africana. O general Oficial Dennis C. Dickerson, Richard Allen Lewis, Fugh Clement, Johnny Barbour, Jr., Daryl B. Ingram, e Calvin H. Sydnor III reside na conferência anual de Tennessee. O general Oficial Jerome V. Harris e o Wade de James C. residem na conferência anual ocidental de Tennessee. /Eight nove do general Oficial da denominação vivaem Tennessee. O Dr. George F. Flor vive e tem seu escritórioem Charleston, Carolina sul.
4. LETRAS AO EDITOR
- Caro Editor
Um par dos comentários que referencing seu editorial abaixo -
Eu podia prestar atenção a algum do serviço no CNN (com interruptions e commentary). Eu fui satisfeito demasiado certamente ver um número nossos de bishops atuais, as well as o layman Ted Harris (eu sou certo que o outro laity e o clergy de AME estavam atual, demasiado). Era certamente noteworthy que o Rev. Ellis estivesse reconhecido abrindo as portas de sua igreja ao país e do mundo para um serviço tão elevado do perfil. Eu entretanto fui surpreendido no seguinte:
(a) Que estêve alistado para a “boa vinda e a finalidade”. Embora o programa não lista outright um celebrant principal para o serviço, as aparências parecem sugerir que era; Eu ouso a palavra que se os papéis fossem invertidos, isso que teria quis (deve ter sido) seja o celebrant para um de membros da sua denominação. Pareceria “mim” isso que a coisa apropriada seria para que adíe, a um grau mais grande, ao AMEC. À exceção do eulogy (sendo dado pelo Bishop Primo), um espectador pôde ter vindo afastado com a opinião que era um membro da igreja/denominação do Rev. Ellis.
(b) a esfera do protocolo certamente foi deixada cair ou negligenciada; deve-se ter mencionado ao ** cada pessoa no ** do programa o que o protocolo de AME era (ou em um mínimo o mention do Bishop sênior e dos outros Bishops de AME deve ter sido reconhecido), seguido perto whomever mais o discurso da pessoa pôde ter quis reconhecer.
Este era um funeral “global”, porque os parques de Rosa tinham assentado bem certamente em um “cidadão do mundo”… assim, algumas coisas foi limitado à tomada em uma vida do seus próprios porque os dignitaries dos vários fundos religiosos pagaram seus respeitos e eu sou certo que não era nenhum empreendimento pequeno para aqueles que puxaram o programa junto.
Eu duvido se alguns de nós virem os gostos de um serviço funeral deste valor para um AME em nossa vida (a esperança de I alguém me provará erradamente, porque há indivíduos ordinários incontáveis entre nós que executam atos selfless e extraordinários; o history será o juiz).
(c) Com consideração a uma lista do protocolo, eu gostaria de sugerir um livreto que estivesse disponível protocolo intitulado Biennial e no Etiquette da configuração recente no “na igreja de AME”. Eu fiz a varredura de um par das páginas (para seu perusal) essa referência o que você sugere. Nenhuma necessidade reinvent a roda, se você não tiver que.

Para aqueles de você que não pode ter recebido uma resposta ao “boato” dos americanos africanos que perdem nossa direita votar, para satisfazer leia o parágrafo abaixo e descanse assegurado que nós não estamos no perigo de perder esta direita.
Determinadas provisões do ato das direitas votando expiram em 2007, tal como o pre-afastamento e as provisões bilíngües. A provisão do pre-afastamento requer que o estado e as divisões políticas locais, com um history sabido da discriminação, submetem mudanças propostas em leis votando em um esforço assegurar a abilidade de governo federal de impedir todas as leis que promoverem a discriminação. Adicionalmente, em 1975, o ato das direitas votando foi emendado para encontrar-se com as demandas de uma população bilíngüe crescente, e requer cédulas bilíngües nas partes do país onde há uma segunda influência significativa da língua. Nós devemos certificar-se de que nossos representantes congressionais fazem tudo eles lata para suportar fazer estas provisões do ato das direitas votando permanentes antes que sua expiração para se assegurar de que todos os cidadãos tivessem a abilidade igual de fazer suas vozes se ouviu.

- Cada dia, 3.400 americanos são diagnosticados com cancer e um outro dado 1.500 da doença. O burden do cancer é frequentemente mais grande para os pobres, para minorities étnicos e para o não segurado.
- Muitos minorities étnicos experimentam umas taxas mais baixas da sobrevivência do cancer do que brancos. Por exemplo, apesar de uma incidência mais baixa do cancer de peito, as mulheres americanas africanas têm umas taxas significativamente mais más da sobrevivência do cancer de peito do que mulheres caucasianos.
- As diferenças em tipos biológicos do tumor, em timeliness do tratamento, ou em falta da conformidade com regimens de tratamento parecem influenciar resultados.
- Por favor, junte-nos para discussões sobre como NCI e os HICCC estão trabalhando para reduzir disparities da saúde do cancer com os programas inovativos que se dirigem à prevenção, ao diagnóstico e ao tratamento em quarta-feira, novembro 30, 2005, 8:30 A.m. - 11:30 A.m.

15. TESTEMUNHA PARA A JUSTIÇA #242 - MUITO MAIS POR MUITO TEMPO DO QUE UM TERMO DE QUATRO ANOS:
Por M. Linda Jaramillo
Uma das coisas que os empregados de instituições públicas reconhecem prontamente é que as coisas mudam no trabalho todas as vezes alguém novo começa eleita à placa governando seja ele a placa da escola, o conselho da cidade oude condado, a legislatura de estado, ou as aquelas eleitos à liderança no governo federal. Como um empregado público anterior e um oficial eleito com 35 anos de experiência em escolas públicas, em condado, e em governo do estado, eu posso atestar à realidade sempre-nebulous que funciona através dos salões do governo.
Um colega anterior, que fosse um assistente a um comissário do condado, disse-me que algo diversos anos há, que continua a golpear todas as vezes uma corda mim olhe o governance público. Disse que porque o oficial eleito tem somente uma garantia de uma janela four-year (ou two-year) para influenciar a mudança, mude tem que acontecer rapidamente e o oficial novo deve se certificar que é radical diferente se assegurar de que ou começassem o crédito para ele. Os oficiais eleitos espouse intenções para a melhoria a longo prazo da comunidade, mas realizam verdadeiramente que o sentido mudará provavelmente no a curto prazo -- depois da eleição seguinte.
A finalidade de uma eleição varia da região à região ou do estado ao estado; mas em todo, há alguém que tenta mudar ou desafiar o que está indo sobre naquele tempo. Não obstante quem são; os candidatos são atentos em melhorar a função do governo e o betterment da sociedade no one-way ou outros. Uma das linhas famosas usadas frequentemente por candidatos está, é você mais melhor fora de do que você era quatro anos há?
Cada ano, não importa o que ano é, porque nós aproximamos o mês de novembro, nós é lembrado do dia de eleição por um barrage das propagandas caras que promovem uma causa ou uma pessoa. Em uma sociedade meio-dirigida, um sucesso dos candidatos é medido geralmente pela quantidade de dinheiro ele ou levanta para a campanha melhor que o número dos votos ele ou recebe. Eu acredito inteiramente na democracia e na participação no processo; entretanto, não me surpreende que nossos sistemas da eleição estão desanimando mais e mais povos. Nós devemos todos ser muito interessados pelo mais disinterest em votar porque os resultados de uma eleição têm implicações far-reaching para nossas crianças e suas crianças.
Quando quatro anos forem o termo de escritório padrão, nós estamos enfrentados com efeitos long-lasting da necessidade urgente de cada oficial recentemente eleito mudar algo e fazê-lo radical diferente. Isto é especial verdadeiro nas eleições presidenciais devido às implicações far-reaching durante todo o mundo. O impacto do tenure deste presidente de ESTADOS UNIDOS tem tido já long-lasting e devastating afeta em gerações para vir.
Os termos four-year deste presidente dois viverão sobre e sobre e sobre. O débito nacional será assim grande que a possibilidade sempre de balançar um orçamento federal parece outra vez improvável. Os milhões das crianças que estão sendo saidas atrás por políticas educacionais deste presidente terão conseqüências sérias na arena nacional. Os danos ao ambiente por causa da política social atual requererão uma reversão séria pelas gerações futuras para a terra sobreviver o século seguinte. Os relacionamentos e a confiança internacionaisnos Estados Unidos através do mundo farão exame de anos à reconstrucção. A nomeação potencial de até quatro justiças da corte suprema por este presidente neste termo four-year podia desmontar décadas das garantias civis e do gender das direitas lutadas por longo e por duro por nossos pais e grandparents.
Última semana, nossa nação honrou parques do ms Rosa e seu esforço courageous para a justiça racial; porque nós agora consideraríamos um registro da justiça (Samuel A. Alito, Jr.) cujo nas matérias que efetuam mulheres e povos da cor seja dismally contrário àqueles do ms estaciona.
Nós reivindicamos ter um contrapeso de poder em nossas três casas do governo; nossa visão dos frente-portadores de um contrapeso de poder no governo não é uniforme perto de ser realizado hoje. Cronyism em nomeações da corte suprema transformou-se uma prática aceitada neste cronyism do país que conduz somente a pôr aqueles no poder com ideologies comuns melhor que a um competency e no compromisso à interpretação constitutional unbiased. Neste termo four-year, a corte que representa o último recurso para aquelas que procuram a última palavra da justiça pode ser enfrentada com um painel perigosamente simples das justiças que tenha pouca diversidade da opinião. A corte do último recurso deve ser um lugar da integridade, vivendo até os ideals do Constitution não aos ideals de seus membros.
O tenure deste presidente no escritório viverá sobre e sobre e sobre. Novembro seguinte, ou todas as outras eleições do tempo rolam ao redor; recorde ir às votações com um olho para o futuro de longo alcance.

2. DEJAARLIJKSE CONFERENTIE VAN TENNESSEE
De jaarlijkse Conferentie van Tennessee komt inMurfreesboro, Tennessee deze samen week. Juiste Reverend Vashti Murphy McKenzie is voorzittende prelate voor het 13de Bisschoppelijke District. De broer Stan McKenzie is de Supervisor WMS. Chapel AME van Allen de Kerk ontvangt de Jaarlijkse Conferentie van Tennessee; Reverend Keith R. Mayes, SR. is pastor. De bischop Henry Belin predikt vandaag de Preek van de Ordening. Reverend Sidney F. Bryant, pastor vanPayne Chapel AME Kerk, Nashville leverde de Jaarlijkse Preek. Reverend Roderick Belin, pastor van Communautaire Afrikaanse Methodist Bisschoppelijke Kerk Kairos die in Februari 2005 werd geplant las een resolutie van de leden die van de kerk verzoeken om dat het wordt ontvangen en als postlast ontvangen en Jaarlijkse Conferentie die wordt gestemd over om hun resolutie goed te keuren en KerkKairos Communautaire AME te ontvangen als postkerk.
De bischop McKenzie en de Supervisor Stan McKenzie hebben innovatieve veranderingen in het Bisschoppelijke District gebracht en de betekenis van camaraderie en doel is duidelijk door de Conferentie. WMS had zijn programma over Maandag en preachers hadden hun instituut, de School F Prophets op Maandag. De ethiek en de Besluitvorming waren twee van de presentaties beschikbaar voor de geestelijkheid. De bischop McKenzie was de instructeur voor AME 101 waarin zij de geschiedenis en de tradities van de Afrikaanse Methodist Bisschoppelijke Kerk deelde. Zij deelde met preacher ook het belang van de de annuïteit en de pensioneringsprogramma's van de Kerk. Zij ging punt door punt verzekeren dat iedereen de programma's beschikbaar aan de ministers begreep. Gehoorde de commentaren waren, „Relevante, zinvol, nuttig en leerzaam.“
De openingsdienst was gehouden eerstVerenigde Methodist Kerk inMurfreesboro. De fysieke installatie van de kerk is ontzagwekkend. Het heiligdom was groot en comfortabel genoeg voor verering. Ik dacht, en vroeg Dr.Richard Lewis dat naast me zat, „waarom wij AMEsgeen structuren als dit kunnen hebben?“ Hij verklaarde dat deEerste Methodist Kerk, Murfreesboro $15 miljoen dollar in a zal door een overleden lid van de kerk werd verlaten. De bepaling was dat de congregatie de kerk binnen vijf jaar bouwt. Wij Algemene Ambtenaren spraken later over het en ik vroeg of hadde Kerk AME om het even welke millionaires. Wij hebben millionaires maar wij hebben geen millionaires in significante aantallen gehad om genoeg te verlaten om nieuwe kerken te bouwen. Dr. Lewis merkte op dat deKerk AME van een programma zou kunnen profiteren dat mensen van rijkdom en mensen met regelmatige inkomens aanmoedigt om hun overerving en geld aan congregaties AME met specifieke instructie op na te laten hoe hun geld zou moeten worden gebruikt. Wij hebben geen goed werk met dat gedaan. Andere mensen in andere benamingen doen het alle tijd. Het is een prachtige erfenis voor mensen die van de Kerkhouden AME en de van wie „bespreking hun gang.“ aanpast
Zo goed aangezien het klinkt, heb ik begrip dat wij niet elkaar op vertrouwen en dat wij de mentaliteit hebben die ik hoorde de Neef van de Bischop over enkele weken geleden spreekt, dat, „Hun ijs kouder is dan ons ijs.“
3. DE MEER ALGEMENE AMBTENAREN VERBLIJVEN IN DEJAARLIJKSE CONFERENTIE VAN TENNESSEE DAN IN EEN ANDER BISSCHOPPELIJK DISTRICT:

4. BRIEVEN AAN DE REDACTEUR
- Beste Redacteur
Een paar commentaren die uw hoofdartikel van verwijzingen voorzien hieronder -
Ik kon op enkele dienst op CNN (met onderbrekingen en commentaar) letten. Ik ook was inderdaad pleased om een aantal onze aanwezige bischoppen, evenals leek Ted Harris (ik ben zeker andere leken AME en geestelijkheid, ook aanwezig waren) te zien. Het was inderdaad opmerkelijk dat Toer Ellis voor het openen van de deuren van zijn kerk aan het land en wereld voor zulk een hoge profieldienst wordt erkend. Ik werd nochtans verrast bij het volgende:
(a) dat hij hiervoor het „Onthaal en“ Werd vermeld. Hoewel het programma niet openlijke lijst belangrijkste celebrant voor de dienst, schijnen de verschijningen om voor te stellen dat hij was; Ik durf zeg dat als de rollen werden omgekeerd, die hij (zou moeten geweest zijn) is celebrant voor één van de leden van zijn benaming zou gewild hebben. Het zou aan „me“ schijnen dat het juiste ding voor hem, aan een grotere graad, aan AMEC zou moeten hebben uitstellen. Behalve eulogy (wordt gegeven door de Neef van de Bischop), zou een toeschouwer weg met het advies dat kunnen gekomen zijn zij een lid van de kerk/de benaming van Toer Ellis was.
(b) de protocolbal werd inderdaad gelaten vallen of werd overzien; het zou aan ** elke persoon op programma moeten vermeld te zijn **- wat het protocol AME was (of minstens zou de vermelding van de Hogere Bischop en de andere Bischoppen AME moeten erkend te zijn), gevolgd door whomever anders de persoon die zou kunnen willen hebben erkennen spreekt.
Dit was een „globale“ begrafenis, aangezien Rosa de Parken inderdaad zo een „burger van de wereld“… waren geworden, sommige dingen was verbindend om het leven van hun over te nemen aangezien dignitaries van diverse godsdienstige achtergronden hun eerbied betaalden en ik zeker ben het geen kleine onderneming voor zij was die het programma verenigden.
Ik betwijfel als om het even welk van ons zullen zien van de begrafenisdienst van deze omvang voor een AME in ons leven houdt van (ik hoop iemand me verkeerd zal bewijzen, aangezien er talloze gewone individuen onder ons die selfless en buitengewone handelingen uitvoeren zijn; de geschiedenis zal de rechter zijn).
(c) met achting aan een protocollijst, zou ik willen voorstellen een boekje dat bij recent beschikbaar was Tweejarig getiteld „Protocol en Etiquette in de KerkAME “leg. Ik heb de een paar pagina's (voor uw lezing) afgetast die van verwijzingen voorzien wat u voorstelt. Geen behoefte om het wiel opnieuw uit te vinden, als u niet moet.

Het artikel van de verwijzing op Protocol AME
Ben van mening dat de Algemene Conferentie de leden van de Gerechtelijke Raad verkiest. Hun positie zou bij een minimum achter de Algemene Ambtenaren en vóór de Ambtenaren moeten zijn Connectional die door componenten van AMEC worden verkozen.

Correctie.
Dank u voor zo snel het publiceren van hetartikel overSt.John, Nashville , Tennessee. Het zal een lange manier naar het verjagen van de mythe van de „Nalating“ van St.John, Nashvillegaan.
Wij zijn opgewekt over welke God bij St.John doet, en willen het woord uitspreiden. Ik zou één correctie willen maken. Ik merkte op dat ik als „Zuster“ Erskine Lytle werd vermeld. Ik ben absoluut een mannetje. De mijn is geen dagelijkse naam zodat weet ik het een eerlijke fout is.
Dank opnieuw voor het artikel.

12. DE WET VAN HET STEMRECHT:
Voor die van u die kunnen geen reactie op het „gerucht“ van Afrikaanse Amerikanen ontvangen hebben die ons recht op stem verliezen, te lezen gelieve hieronder de paragraaf en de rust verzekerde dat wij niet in gevaar om dit recht te verliezen zijn.
Bepaalde bepalingen van het Akte van het Stemrecht verlopen in 2007, zoals pre-clearance en de tweetalige bepalingen. De pre-clearance voorziening vereist dat de staat en de lokale politieke afdelingen, met een bekende geschiedenis van onderscheid, voorgestelde veranderingen in het stemmen van over wetten in een inspanning om de bevoegdheid van de federale overheid te verzekeren om om het even welke wetten voorleggen te verhinderen die onderscheid bevorderen. Bovendien, in 1975, werd het Akte van het Stemrecht gewijzigd om de eisen van een groeiende tweetalige bevolking te ontmoeten, en vereist tweetalige stemmingen voor een deel van het land waar er een significante tweede taalinvloed is. Wij zouden moeten ervoor zorgen dat onze Congresvertegenwoordigers allen doen zij permanent het treffen van deze maatregelen van het stemrechtAkte kunnen steunen vóór hun afloop om te garanderen dat alle burgers gelijke capaciteit hebben om hun stemmen gehoord te maken.

13. VERBETEREND DE OVERLEVING VAN KANKER DOOR RASSEN/ETNISCHE ONGELIJKHEDEN TE BEGRIJPEN
De Reeks van het Seminarie van de nationale Schrijvers van de Wetenschap van het Instituut van Kanker (NCI) metHerbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) bijhet Universitaire Medische Centrum van Colombia en het Nieuwe York-Presbyterian Ziekenhuis/Colombia
- Elke dag, worden 3.400 Amerikanen gediagnostiseerd met kanker en matrijs nog eens 1.500 van de ziekte. De last van kanker is vaak groter voor de armen, voor etnische minderheden en voor onverzekerd.
- Vele etnische minderheden ervaren de lagere tarieven van de kankeroverleving dan wit. Bijvoorbeeld, ondanks een lagere weerslag van borstkanker, hebben de Afrikaanse Amerikaanse vrouwen beduidend slechtere overlevingstarieven van borstkanker dan Kaukasische vrouwen.
- De verschillen in biologische tumortypes, opportuniteit van behandeling, of gebrek aan naleving van behandelingsregimes schijnen om resultaten te beïnvloeden.
- Tevreden, sluit me aan bij ons voor besprekingen over hoe NCI en HICCC werken om de ongelijkheden van de kankergezondheid door innovatieve programma's te verminderen die preventie, diagnose en behandeling OP Woensdag richten, 30 November, 2005, 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

15. GETUIGE VOOR RECHTVAARDIGHEID #242 - VEEL LANGER DAN EEN TERMIJN VAN VIER JAAR:
Door M. Linda Jaramillo
Één van de dingen die de werknemers van openbare instellingen gemakkelijk erkennen is dat dingenverandering op het werk elke keer nieuw iemand aan de raad van beheer zij het de schoolraad, stad of provinciebestuur, staatswetgevende macht verkozen wordt, of die verkozen aan leiding in de federale overheid. Als vroegere openbare werknemer en verkozen officieel met 35 jaar ervarings in openbare scholen, provincie, en staatsoverheid, kan ik aan de ooit-nevelige werkelijkheid getuigen van die de zalen van overheid doorneemt.
Een vroegere collega, die een medewerker aan een provinciecommissaris was, vertelde me iets verscheidene jaren geleden, die een snaar blijft slaan telkens als ik openbaar bestuur bekijk. Zij zei dat omdat verkozen officieel slechts een verzekering van een venster van vier jaar (of van twee jaar) heeft om verandering te beïnvloeden, de verandering moet snel gebeuren en de nieuwe ambtenaar moet ervoor zorgen het radicaal verschillend is om ervoor te zorgen dat zij of hij krediet voor het krijgt. De verkozen ambtenaren nemen echt bedoelingen voor de verbetering op lange termijn van de gemeenschap aan, maar realiseren dat de richting waarschijnlijk op korte termijn zal veranderen -- na de volgende verkiezing.
Het doel van een verkiezing variërt van gebied aan gebied of staat aan staat; maar in allemaal, is er iemand dat probeert te veranderen of uit te dagen wat tegelijkertijd gebeurt. Ongeacht wie zij zijn; de kandidaten zijn aandachtig bij op één of andere manier het verbeteren van de functie van overheid en de verbetering van de maatschappij. Één van de beroemde lijnen die vaak door kandidaten worden gebruikt, bent bent u beter van dan u vier jaar geleden was?
Elk jaar, geen kwestie welk jaar het is, aangezien wij de maand van November naderen, worden wij herinnerd aan de Dag van de Verkiezing door een versperring van dure reclame bevorderend een oorzaak of een persoon. In de middel-gedreven maatschappij, wordt een kandidatensucces gewoonlijk gemeten door de hoeveelheid geld hij of zij heft voor de campagne eerder dan het aantal stemmen hij op of zij ontvangt. Ik geloof volledig in democratie en participatie in het proces; nochtans, verrast het me niet dat onze verkiezingssystemen more and more mensen ontmoedigen. Wij allen zouden zeer betroffen moeten zijn door disinterest in stemming omdat de resultaten van een verkiezing verreikende implicaties voor onze kinderen en hun kinderen hebben.
Terwijl vier jaar het standaardmandaat is, worden wij met langdurige gevolgen van elke onlangs verkozen officiële dringende behoefte geconfronteerd om iets te veranderen en het verschillend radicaal te maken. Dit is vooral waar in de Presidentiële verkiezingen toe te schrijven over de hele wereld aan de verreikende implicaties. Het effect van de ambtstermijn van deze Voorzitter van V.S. heeft reeds langdurig en het verwoesten beïnvloedt op generaties gehad om te komen.
Zullen twee termen van vier jaar van deze Voorzitter en en leven. De nationale schuld zal zo groot zijn dat de mogelijkheid om een federale begroting ooit in evenwicht te brengen opnieuw onwaarschijnlijk schijnt. Miljoenen die kinderen erachter door het onderwijsbeleid van deze Voorzitter worden verlaten zullen ernstige gevolgen in de nationale arena hebben. De schade aan het milieu wegens huidige sociale politiek zal een ernstige omkering door toekomstige generaties voor de aarde vereisen om de volgende eeuw te overleven. De internationale verhoudingen en het vertrouwen in deVerenigde Staten over de wereld zullen jaren aan verbouwing vergen. De potentiële benoeming van zelfs vier het Opperste Hof Justices door deze Voorzitter op deze termijn van vier jaar decennia van de verzekeringen van burgerlijke en geslachtsrechten kon ontmantelen vocht voor lang en hard door onze ouders en grootouders.
Vorige week, eerde onze natie Mej. Rosa Parks en haar moedige strijd voor rassenrechtvaardigheid; waarom wij nu een Rechtvaardigheid (Samuel A. Alito, Jr.) zouden overwegen waarvan is het verslag inzake kwesties die vrouwen en mensen van kleur uitvoeren duister strijdig met die van Mej. Parks.
Wij eisen om een machtsevenwicht in onze drie huizen van overheid te hebben; onze is de gedeelte-dragers visie van een machtsevenwicht in overheid niet zelfs dicht bij vandaag wordt gerealiseerd. Cronyism in de benoemingen van het Opperste Hof is een toegelaten praktijk in dit landcronyism geworden die slechts tot het zetten van die in macht met gemeenschappelijke ideologieën eerder dan een bekwaamheid en een verplichting aan onbevooroordeelde constitutionele interpretatie leidt. Op deze termijn van vier jaar, het hof dat het laatste redmiddel voor die vertegenwoordigt die naar het laatste woord van rechtvaardigheid streven kan met een gevaarlijk éénzijdig Comité van justices worden geconfronteerd dat weinig diversiteit van advies heeft. Het hof van laatste redmiddel moet een plaats van integriteit zijn, nalevend ideals van de Grondwet niet aan ideals van zijn leden.
De ambtstermijn van deze Voorzitter in bureau zal en en leven. In de komende maand november, of een andere tijdverkiezingen rol rond; herinner me om naar opiniepeilingen met een oog naar de lange-afstands toekomst te gaan.

2. DEJAARLIJKSE CONFERENTIE VAN TENNESSEE
De jaarlijkse Conferentie van Tennessee komt inMurfreesboro, Tennessee deze samen week. Juiste Reverend Vashti Murphy McKenzie is voorzittende prelate voor het 13de Bisschoppelijke District. De broer Stan McKenzie is de Supervisor WMS. Chapel AME van Allen de Kerk ontvangt de Jaarlijkse Conferentie van Tennessee; Reverend Keith R. Mayes, SR. is pastor. De bischop Henry Belin predikt vandaag de Preek van de Ordening. Reverend Sidney F. Bryant, pastor vanPayne Chapel AME Kerk, Nashville leverde de Jaarlijkse Preek. Reverend Roderick Belin, pastor van Communautaire Afrikaanse Methodist Bisschoppelijke Kerk Kairos die in Februari 2005 werd geplant las een resolutie van de leden die van de kerk verzoeken om dat het wordt ontvangen en als postlast ontvangen en Jaarlijkse Conferentie die wordt gestemd over om hun resolutie goed te keuren en KerkKairos Communautaire AME te ontvangen als postkerk.
De bischop McKenzie en de Supervisor Stan McKenzie hebben innovatieve veranderingen in het Bisschoppelijke District gebracht en de betekenis van camaraderie en doel is duidelijk door de Conferentie. WMS had zijn programma over Maandag en preachers hadden hun instituut, de School F Prophets op Maandag. De ethiek en de Besluitvorming waren twee van de presentaties beschikbaar voor de geestelijkheid. De bischop McKenzie was de instructeur voor AME 101 waarin zij de geschiedenis en de tradities van de Afrikaanse Methodist Bisschoppelijke Kerk deelde. Zij deelde met preacher ook het belang van de de annuïteit en de pensioneringsprogramma's van de Kerk. Zij ging punt door punt verzekeren dat iedereen de programma's beschikbaar aan de ministers begreep. Gehoorde de commentaren waren, „Relevante, zinvol, nuttig en leerzaam.“
De openingsdienst was gehouden eerstVerenigde Methodist Kerk inMurfreesboro. De fysieke installatie van de kerk is ontzagwekkend. Het heiligdom was groot en comfortabel genoeg voor verering. Ik dacht, en vroeg Dr.Richard Lewis dat naast me zat, „waarom wij AMEsgeen structuren als dit kunnen hebben?“ Hij verklaarde dat deEerste Methodist Kerk, Murfreesboro $15 miljoen dollar in a zal door een overleden lid van de kerk werd verlaten. De bepaling was dat de congregatie de kerk binnen vijf jaar bouwt. Wij Algemene Ambtenaren spraken later over het en ik vroeg of hadde Kerk AME om het even welke millionaires. Wij hebben millionaires maar wij hebben geen millionaires in significante aantallen gehad om genoeg te verlaten om nieuwe kerken te bouwen. Dr. Lewis merkte op dat deKerk AME van een programma zou kunnen profiteren dat mensen van rijkdom en mensen met regelmatige inkomens aanmoedigt om hun overerving en geld aan congregaties AME met specifieke instructie op na te laten hoe hun geld zou moeten worden gebruikt. Wij hebben geen goed werk met dat gedaan. Andere mensen in andere benamingen doen het alle tijd. Het is een prachtige erfenis voor mensen die van de Kerkhouden AME en de van wie „bespreking hun gang.“ aanpast
Zo goed aangezien het klinkt, heb ik begrip dat wij niet elkaar op vertrouwen en dat wij de mentaliteit hebben die ik hoorde de Neef van de Bischop over enkele weken geleden spreekt, dat, „Hun ijs kouder is dan ons ijs.“
3. DE MEER ALGEMENE AMBTENAREN VERBLIJVEN IN DEJAARLIJKSE CONFERENTIE VAN TENNESSEE DAN IN EEN ANDER BISSCHOPPELIJK DISTRICT:
De jaarlijkse Conferentie van Tennessee heeft twee Algemene Ambtenaren die de broodjesvraag, Reverend Dr. Dennis Dickerson en Reverend Dr. Clement Fugh beantwoorden. Dr.Richard Lewis is ook een lid van de Jaarlijkse Conferentie van Tennessee (Lee Chapel, Nashville, Tennessee). De meer algemene Ambtenaren verblijven in de Jaarlijkse Conferentie van Tennessee dan een andere Conferentie in de Afrikaanse Methodist Bisschoppelijke Kerk. Algemene Officers Dennis C. Dickerson, Richard Allen Lewis, Milde Fugh, Johnny Barbour, Jr., Daryl B. Ingram, en Calvin H. Sydnor III verblijven in de Jaarlijkse Conferentie van Tennessee. Algemene Officers Jerome V. Harris en James C. Wade verblijven in de Jaarlijkse Conferentie West- van Tennessee. /Eight van de negen Algemene Ambtenaren van de benaming leeft inTennessee. Dr. George F. Flowers leeft en heeft zijn bureau inCharleston, Zuid-Carolina.
4. BRIEVEN AAN DE REDACTEUR
- Beste Redacteur
Een paar commentaren die uw hoofdartikel van verwijzingen voorzien hieronder -
Ik kon op enkele dienst op CNN (met onderbrekingen en commentaar) letten. Ik ook was inderdaad pleased om een aantal onze aanwezige bischoppen, evenals leek Ted Harris (ik ben zeker andere leken AME en geestelijkheid, ook aanwezig waren) te zien. Het was inderdaad opmerkelijk dat Toer Ellis voor het openen van de deuren van zijn kerk aan het land en wereld voor zulk een hoge profieldienst wordt erkend. Ik werd nochtans verrast bij het volgende:
(a) dat hij hiervoor het „Onthaal en“ Werd vermeld. Hoewel het programma niet openlijke lijst belangrijkste celebrant voor de dienst, schijnen de verschijningen om voor te stellen dat hij was; Ik durf zeg dat als de rollen werden omgekeerd, die hij (zou moeten geweest zijn) is celebrant voor één van de leden van zijn benaming zou gewild hebben. Het zou aan „me“ schijnen dat het juiste ding voor hem, aan een grotere graad, aan AMEC zou moeten hebben uitstellen. Behalve eulogy (wordt gegeven door de Neef van de Bischop), zou een toeschouwer weg met het advies dat kunnen gekomen zijn zij een lid van de kerk/de benaming van Toer Ellis was.
(b) de protocolbal werd inderdaad gelaten vallen of werd overzien; het zou aan ** elke persoon op programma moeten vermeld te zijn **- wat het protocol AME was (of minstens zou de vermelding van de Hogere Bischop en de andere Bischoppen AME moeten erkend te zijn), gevolgd door whomever anders de persoon die zou kunnen willen hebben erkennen spreekt.
Dit was een „globale“ begrafenis, aangezien Rosa de Parken inderdaad zo een „burger van de wereld“… waren geworden, sommige dingen was verbindend om het leven van hun over te nemen aangezien dignitaries van diverse godsdienstige achtergronden hun eerbied betaalden en ik zeker ben het geen kleine onderneming voor zij was die het programma verenigden.
Ik betwijfel als om het even welk van ons zullen zien van de begrafenisdienst van deze omvang voor een AME in ons leven houdt van (ik hoop iemand me verkeerd zal bewijzen, aangezien er talloze gewone individuen onder ons die selfless en buitengewone handelingen uitvoeren zijn; de geschiedenis zal de rechter zijn).
(c) met achting aan een protocollijst, zou ik willen voorstellen een boekje dat bij recent beschikbaar was Tweejarig getiteld „Protocol en Etiquette in de KerkAME “leg. Ik heb de een paar pagina's (voor uw lezing) afgetast die van verwijzingen voorzien wat u voorstelt. Geen behoefte om het wiel opnieuw uit te vinden, als u niet moet.

Het artikel van de verwijzing op Protocol AME
Ben van mening dat de Algemene Conferentie de leden van de Gerechtelijke Raad verkiest. Hun positie zou bij een minimum achter de Algemene Ambtenaren en vóór de Ambtenaren moeten zijn Connectional die door componenten van AMEC worden verkozen.

Correctie.
Dank u voor zo snel het publiceren van hetartikel overSt.John, Nashville , Tennessee. Het zal een lange manier naar het verjagen van de mythe van de „Nalating“ van St.John, Nashvillegaan.
Wij zijn opgewekt over welke God bij St.John doet, en willen het woord uitspreiden. Ik zou één correctie willen maken. Ik merkte op dat ik als „Zuster“ Erskine Lytle werd vermeld. Ik ben absoluut een mannetje. De mijn is geen dagelijkse naam zodat weet ik het een eerlijke fout is.
Dank opnieuw voor het artikel.

12. DE WET VAN HET STEMRECHT:
Voor die van u die kunnen geen reactie op het „gerucht“ van Afrikaanse Amerikanen ontvangen hebben die ons recht op stem verliezen, te lezen gelieve hieronder de paragraaf en de rust verzekerde dat wij niet in gevaar om dit recht te verliezen zijn.
Bepaalde bepalingen van het Akte van het Stemrecht verlopen in 2007, zoals pre-clearance en de tweetalige bepalingen. De pre-clearance voorziening vereist dat de staat en de lokale politieke afdelingen, met een bekende geschiedenis van onderscheid, voorgestelde veranderingen in het stemmen van over wetten in een inspanning om de bevoegdheid van de federale overheid te verzekeren om om het even welke wetten voorleggen te verhinderen die onderscheid bevorderen. Bovendien, in 1975, werd het Akte van het Stemrecht gewijzigd om de eisen van een groeiende tweetalige bevolking te ontmoeten, en vereist tweetalige stemmingen voor een deel van het land waar er een significante tweede taalinvloed is. Wij zouden moeten ervoor zorgen dat onze Congresvertegenwoordigers allen doen zij permanent het treffen van deze maatregelen van het stemrechtAkte kunnen steunen vóór hun afloop om te garanderen dat alle burgers gelijke capaciteit hebben om hun stemmen gehoord te maken.

13. VERBETEREND DE OVERLEVING VAN KANKER DOOR RASSEN/ETNISCHE ONGELIJKHEDEN TE BEGRIJPEN
De Reeks van het Seminarie van de nationale Schrijvers van de Wetenschap van het Instituut van Kanker (NCI) metHerbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) bijhet Universitaire Medische Centrum van Colombia en het Nieuwe York-Presbyterian Ziekenhuis/Colombia
- Elke dag, worden 3.400 Amerikanen gediagnostiseerd met kanker en matrijs nog eens 1.500 van de ziekte. De last van kanker is vaak groter voor de armen, voor etnische minderheden en voor onverzekerd.
- Vele etnische minderheden ervaren de lagere tarieven van de kankeroverleving dan wit. Bijvoorbeeld, ondanks een lagere weerslag van borstkanker, hebben de Afrikaanse Amerikaanse vrouwen beduidend slechtere overlevingstarieven van borstkanker dan Kaukasische vrouwen.
- De verschillen in biologische tumortypes, opportuniteit van behandeling, of gebrek aan naleving van behandelingsregimes schijnen om resultaten te beïnvloeden.
- Tevreden, sluit me aan bij ons voor besprekingen over hoe NCI en HICCC werken om de ongelijkheden van de kankergezondheid door innovatieve programma's te verminderen die preventie, diagnose en behandeling OP Woensdag richten, 30 November, 2005, 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

15. GETUIGE VOOR RECHTVAARDIGHEID #242 - VEEL LANGER DAN EEN TERMIJN VAN VIER JAAR:
Door M. Linda Jaramillo
Één van de dingen die de werknemers van openbare instellingen gemakkelijk erkennen is dat dingenverandering op het werk elke keer nieuw iemand aan de raad van beheer zij het de schoolraad, stad of provinciebestuur, staatswetgevende macht verkozen wordt, of die verkozen aan leiding in de federale overheid. Als vroegere openbare werknemer en verkozen officieel met 35 jaar ervarings in openbare scholen, provincie, en staatsoverheid, kan ik aan de ooit-nevelige werkelijkheid getuigen van die de zalen van overheid doorneemt.
Een vroegere collega, die een medewerker aan een provinciecommissaris was, vertelde me iets verscheidene jaren geleden, die een snaar blijft slaan telkens als ik openbaar bestuur bekijk. Zij zei dat omdat verkozen officieel slechts een verzekering van een venster van vier jaar (of van twee jaar) heeft om verandering te beïnvloeden, de verandering moet snel gebeuren en de nieuwe ambtenaar moet ervoor zorgen het radicaal verschillend is om ervoor te zorgen dat zij of hij krediet voor het krijgt. De verkozen ambtenaren nemen echt bedoelingen voor de verbetering op lange termijn van de gemeenschap aan, maar realiseren dat de richting waarschijnlijk op korte termijn zal veranderen -- na de volgende verkiezing.
Het doel van een verkiezing variërt van gebied aan gebied of staat aan staat; maar in allemaal, is er iemand dat probeert te veranderen of uit te dagen wat tegelijkertijd gebeurt. Ongeacht wie zij zijn; de kandidaten zijn aandachtig bij op één of andere manier het verbeteren van de functie van overheid en de verbetering van de maatschappij. Één van de beroemde lijnen die vaak door kandidaten worden gebruikt, bent bent u beter van dan u vier jaar geleden was?
Elk jaar, geen kwestie welk jaar het is, aangezien wij de maand van November naderen, worden wij herinnerd aan de Dag van de Verkiezing door een versperring van dure reclame bevorderend een oorzaak of een persoon. In de middel-gedreven maatschappij, wordt een kandidatensucces gewoonlijk gemeten door de hoeveelheid geld hij of zij heft voor de campagne eerder dan het aantal stemmen hij op of zij ontvangt. Ik geloof volledig in democratie en participatie in het proces; nochtans, verrast het me niet dat onze verkiezingssystemen more and more mensen ontmoedigen. Wij allen zouden zeer betroffen moeten zijn door disinterest in stemming omdat de resultaten van een verkiezing verreikende implicaties voor onze kinderen en hun kinderen hebben.
Terwijl vier jaar het standaardmandaat is, worden wij met langdurige gevolgen van elke onlangs verkozen officiële dringende behoefte geconfronteerd om iets te veranderen en het verschillend radicaal te maken. Dit is vooral waar in de Presidentiële verkiezingen toe te schrijven over de hele wereld aan de verreikende implicaties. Het effect van de ambtstermijn van deze Voorzitter van V.S. heeft reeds langdurig en het verwoesten beïnvloedt op generaties gehad om te komen.
Zullen twee termen van vier jaar van deze Voorzitter en en leven. De nationale schuld zal zo groot zijn dat de mogelijkheid om een federale begroting ooit in evenwicht te brengen opnieuw onwaarschijnlijk schijnt. Miljoenen die kinderen erachter door het onderwijsbeleid van deze Voorzitter worden verlaten zullen ernstige gevolgen in de nationale arena hebben. De schade aan het milieu wegens huidige sociale politiek zal een ernstige omkering door toekomstige generaties voor de aarde vereisen om de volgende eeuw te overleven. De internationale verhoudingen en het vertrouwen in deVerenigde Staten over de wereld zullen jaren aan verbouwing vergen. De potentiële benoeming van zelfs vier het Opperste Hof Justices door deze Voorzitter op deze termijn van vier jaar decennia van de verzekeringen van burgerlijke en geslachtsrechten kon ontmantelen vocht voor lang en hard door onze ouders en grootouders.
Vorige week, eerde onze natie Mej. Rosa Parks en haar moedige strijd voor rassenrechtvaardigheid; waarom wij nu een Rechtvaardigheid (Samuel A. Alito, Jr.) zouden overwegen waarvan is het verslag inzake kwesties die vrouwen en mensen van kleur uitvoeren duister strijdig met die van Mej. Parks.
Wij eisen om een machtsevenwicht in onze drie huizen van overheid te hebben; onze is de gedeelte-dragers visie van een machtsevenwicht in overheid niet zelfs dicht bij vandaag wordt gerealiseerd. Cronyism in de benoemingen van het Opperste Hof is een toegelaten praktijk in dit landcronyism geworden die slechts tot het zetten van die in macht met gemeenschappelijke ideologieën eerder dan een bekwaamheid en een verplichting aan onbevooroordeelde constitutionele interpretatie leidt. Op deze termijn van vier jaar, het hof dat het laatste redmiddel voor die vertegenwoordigt die naar het laatste woord van rechtvaardigheid streven kan met een gevaarlijk éénzijdig Comité van justices worden geconfronteerd dat weinig diversiteit van advies heeft. Het hof van laatste redmiddel moet een plaats van integriteit zijn, nalevend ideals van de Grondwet niet aan ideals van zijn leden.
De ambtstermijn van deze Voorzitter in bureau zal en en leven. In de komende maand november, of een andere tijdverkiezingen rol rond; herinner me om naar opiniepeilingen met een oog naar de lange-afstands toekomst te gaan.

4. SAINT JOHN AME CHURCH, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - PHOENIX RISING:
Sister Erskine Lytle
The conference year 2004-2005 for St. John has been one of rebirth and growth. Our pastor is the Reverend Antoni Sinkfield. We have done some exciting things. We have had 20 accessions. These persons have united with the church after meeting the requirements for membership. Rev. Sinkfield’s new members' class has facilitated this area of growth. Interestingly enough, many of the members of this group have been members of St. John, but just wanted to learn more about the A.M.E. church.
There have also been 28 conversions, 73 Recommits and 5 transfers. I throw these numbers out to illustrate that the church is growing. It is growing in membership but equally important is the fact that it is growing in terms of the fervor of those who are here.
St. John is busy church. On any given day, it is possible to come by the church, and find some type of activity taking place. The activity is not just busy for the sake of being busy; it is activity with a purpose. That purpose follows the theme for the year “Growing the Church through the Power of Christian Love.”
Everything that is happening at St. John is done in “love.” Love of God, love of the church, and most of all love for each other. No longer is St. John one of those churches open only for worship services on Sunday mornings. Ours is a church full of activity and Love.
New ministries abound. Brown bag Bible study, children/youth Bible studies, movie ministry leadership breakfast, “Fishes and Loaves,” new members’ orientation, and children’s church are a few of the opportunities which are available at the church.
Our Pastor is busy. His efforts outside of the church, as well as those of the “First Lady” of St. John, have produced an additional 43 converts and more than 60 recommitments to Christ. Ministry has been provided to he Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Christian Businessmen’s Association, Radio broadcasts, Tennessee State University football team and coaches, local high schools, local churches along with others across the state and many, many others.
The Pastor has been involved in local services as well. He was pivotal in the resurrection of the Greater Nashville A.M.E. Ministerial Alliance. He was one of the organizers for the Tennessee Pentecost Revivals. He has authored devotional articles and has been asked to present is “Knowing Your Spiritual Gifts and Using Them within the Church” workshop at the local district and conference levels.
St. John is a Tithing church. The budget produced a 32% increase over previous years. There is a vision and a greater purpose is developing. The vision casting efforts are crystallizing not just, where we are and where we are going, but how we will get there. We will not be a “wandering generality”. We will be walking with purpose, pride, and love to our God-ordained destiny.
This is the same St. John, which, not too long ago was on “life support.” St. John was a church, which was once, somewhat uncomfortable, even for some of the long-term members. If that was the case, you know how outsiders felt. That is no longer the case. St. John, like the mythical bird, the Phoenix, is raising from the ashes of certain disaster to claim it rightful spot as a “beacon on a hill” in the city of Nashville.
5. HOWARD UNIVERSITY CHAPEL CHOIR DIRECTOR, 57, DIES SUDDENLY OF HEART ATTACK:
By Ayesha Rascoe
Though the gospel was preached and the choirs sang praises to the Lord as usual during chapel service on Sunday, one familiar face was missing. Arphelius Paul Gatling III, director of the Howard University Chapel Choir for 13 years, died from a heart attack Friday afternoon. The 57-year-old Gatling was a Howard alumnus. In addition to directing the Chapel Choir, Gatling directed the Howard University Gospel Choir for over two decades, longer than any other director. A renowned musician who traveled the world, Gatling also co-directed the annual Martin Luther

6. AME MEMBERS CAN ASSIST THOSE OVERSEAS IN THE MILITARY:
Sister Karen Caffee
The Website, http://www.siteforsavings.com/content_mas/hlphand.htm will explain how we can assist military families stationed overseas. Military and their families can use grocery coupons up to six months after their expiration date to purchase groceries at base commissaries. Can you imagine how many coupons AME's can collect and share! What an awesome service project that doesn't require anything more than gathering coupons from family, friends and neighbors that might otherwise go to waste, and boxing them up and mailing them off.
Instructions for shipping and addresses are included on the Website.

8. WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES ASKS FOR HALT TO MILITARY ACTION AGAINST THE PEOPLE IN ETHIOPIA:
World Council of Churches (WCC) general secretary Samuel Kobia has called on the Ethiopian government "to exercise utmost restraint and bring to an immediate halt the military action against the people and release the political prisoners as soon as possible."In a letter sent last Friday to Ethiopian prime minister, Meles Zenawi, Kobia expresses "great sadness" for the "death of many Ethiopians following demonstrations and riots in Addis Ababa", and warns that "further military action against the people is an escalation of violence and will further damage the political climate and make dialogue even less possible".Kobia met Zenawi last September when visiting the WCC member churches in the country, and expressed his conviction that "honest dialogue with the opposition" was needed. After his visit, he wrote to the leadership of the Coalition for Unity and Democracy and the United Ethiopian Democratic Forces with the same appeal "to resolve the political impasse through dialogue".The full text of the letter is available at:http://www.wcc-coe.org/wcc/what/

10. THE PASTOR’S CORNER - COME AND CELEBRATE, LIFE-GIVING LIVING VII:
1aObserve the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover of the Lord your God… 10aThen celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God…13aCelebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days…16aThree times a year [you] must appear before the Lord your God at the place He will choose. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Deuteronomy 16: 1a, 10a, 13a, 16a, & Hebrews 10: 25)
God has been calling His people to “Come and Celebrate His Presence.” God established in His Word, three pilgrimage festivals for His Hebrew people - Passover, Weeks (Pentecost), and Tabernacles. Examination of these three Hebrew pilgrimage festivals reveals to us the reasons why every Sunday morning is our opportunity to “Come and Celebrate God’s Presence.”
Passover
Deuteronomy 23: 3 tells us that God directed the Hebrew people to “for seven days eat unleavened bread…so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.” A lamb was sacrificed and its blood on the doorpost of each house was a symbol of faith in God. The Hebrew people were set free from enslavement to Egypt and saved from God’s judgment. Centuries later we find Jesus the night before His crucifixion, celebrating the Passover with His disciples, placing before them and us a lasting ordinance to “do this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22: 19b) The absence of yeast in the bread of the Hebrews typifies the removal of sin from our lives by the blood of Jesus Christ. Salvation is our through the sacrificial death of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Every Sunday morning we have the privilege of celebrating the fact that sin no longer has authority (legitimate right to control) in our lives. We now belong to Jesus Christ. “Come and Celebrate!”
Tabernacles
Leviticus 23: 42-43 describes how God told His people to “live in booths so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” God wanted the Israelites to remember His presence as He delivered them out of their “Wilderness” experience. Centuries later we find Jesus celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem (John 7: 37-38). For us today, we recognize that after salvation, we must be set apart for God’s purposes for our lives. God sanctifies us by the finished work of Christ. Just as the Israelites spent forty years in the Wilderness, our lives are a process of being set apart from sin’s power (capacity to act) and from self. God can now use us to fulfill His perfect and pleasing will in this world. Now that is something to “Come and celebrate!”
Pentecost (Weeks)
Leviticus 23: 17 says, “bring two loaves baked with yeast…I am the Lord your God.” The offerings made were fellowship offerings recognizing God’s provision and empowerment of His people. Later in Act 1:4-8 and Acts 2: 1-4 we find God empowering His people by filling them with the Holy Spirit. The power and provision of God now overflow from them like rivers of living water. The loaves baked with yeast typify the formation of the church, the Body of Christ, which was formed on the Day of Pentecost and is composed of sinners (yeast typifies sin) saved by the grace of God. We “come and celebrate” because, as the Church, we have the power to operate according to God’s plan for His creation.
God compels us to continue to gather (Hebrews 10: 19-25) in celebration of His presence. We “come and celebrate” with:
1. Confidence – in His sacrificial love for us. (v. 19-21)
2. Assurance – in the cleansing power of His blood. (v. 22)
3. Hope – in His faithful promises. (v. 23)
4. Encouragement – as by His Spirit we spur one another on toward love and good deeds. (v. 24-25)
Today, we are to invite others to join us as we “Come and Celebrate God’s Presence” each Sunday. “Come and Celebrate!”

I am searching for communion materials for young children. I realize that this may not be within your responsibility scope. I am researching all the AME sites to see if anyone has heard of what I need. I am looking for easy to read booklets or coloring pages that explain the ritual to children.

4. SAINT JOHN AME CHURCH, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - PHOENIX RISING:
Sister Erskine Lytle
The conference year 2004-2005 for St. John has been one of rebirth and growth. Our pastor is the Reverend Antoni Sinkfield. We have done some exciting things. We have had 20 accessions. These persons have united with the church after meeting the requirements for membership. Rev. Sinkfield’s new members' class has facilitated this area of growth. Interestingly enough, many of the members of this group have been members of St. John, but just wanted to learn more about the A.M.E. church.
There have also been 28 conversions, 73 Recommits and 5 transfers. I throw these numbers out to illustrate that the church is growing. It is growing in membership but equally important is the fact that it is growing in terms of the fervor of those who are here.
St. John is busy church. On any given day, it is possible to come by the church, and find some type of activity taking place. The activity is not just busy for the sake of being busy; it is activity with a purpose. That purpose follows the theme for the year “Growing the Church through the Power of Christian Love.”
Everything that is happening at St. John is done in “love.” Love of God, love of the church, and most of all love for each other. No longer is St. John one of those churches open only for worship services on Sunday mornings. Ours is a church full of activity and Love.
New ministries abound. Brown bag Bible study, children/youth Bible studies, movie ministry leadership breakfast, “Fishes and Loaves,” new members’ orientation, and children’s church are a few of the opportunities which are available at the church.
Our Pastor is busy. His efforts outside of the church, as well as those of the “First Lady” of St. John, have produced an additional 43 converts and more than 60 recommitments to Christ. Ministry has been provided to he Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Christian Businessmen’s Association, Radio broadcasts, Tennessee State University football team and coaches, local high schools, local churches along with others across the state and many, many others.
The Pastor has been involved in local services as well. He was pivotal in the resurrection of the Greater Nashville A.M.E. Ministerial Alliance. He was one of the organizers for the Tennessee Pentecost Revivals. He has authored devotional articles and has been asked to present is “Knowing Your Spiritual Gifts and Using Them within the Church” workshop at the local district and conference levels.
St. John is a Tithing church. The budget produced a 32% increase over previous years. There is a vision and a greater purpose is developing. The vision casting efforts are crystallizing not just, where we are and where we are going, but how we will get there. We will not be a “wandering generality”. We will be walking with purpose, pride, and love to our God-ordained destiny.
This is the same St. John, which, not too long ago was on “life support.” St. John was a church, which was once, somewhat uncomfortable, even for some of the long-term members. If that was the case, you know how outsiders felt. That is no longer the case. St. John, like the mythical bird, the Phoenix, is raising from the ashes of certain disaster to claim it rightful spot as a “beacon on a hill” in the city of Nashville.
5. HOWARD UNIVERSITY CHAPEL CHOIR DIRECTOR, 57, DIES SUDDENLY OF HEART ATTACK:
By Ayesha Rascoe
Though the gospel was preached and the choirs sang praises to the Lord as usual during chapel service on Sunday, one familiar face was missing. Arphelius Paul Gatling III, director of the Howard University Chapel Choir for 13 years, died from a heart attack Friday afternoon. The 57-year-old Gatling was a Howard alumnus. In addition to directing the Chapel Choir, Gatling directed the Howard University Gospel Choir for over two decades, longer than any other director. A renowned musician who traveled the world, Gatling also co-directed the annual Martin Luther

6. AME MEMBERS CAN ASSIST THOSE OVERSEAS IN THE MILITARY:
Sister Karen Caffee
The Website, http://www.siteforsavings.com/content_mas/hlphand.htm will explain how we can assist military families stationed overseas. Military and their families can use grocery coupons up to six months after their expiration date to purchase groceries at base commissaries. Can you imagine how many coupons AME's can collect and share! What an awesome service project that doesn't require anything more than gathering coupons from family, friends and neighbors that might otherwise go to waste, and boxing them up and mailing them off.
Instructions for shipping and addresses are included on the Website.
