NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:
I heard it again, an AME preacher stating that he was going to read
from the100th "Division of Psalms." He meant to say that he was
reading from Psalm 100 or "the 100th Psalm. The book of Psalms has
only 5 divisions. I will give the full explanation on the Psalms and
when it is appropriate to use the plural (Psalms) or the singular
(Psalm).

NEWS FROM THE VIRGINIA ANNUAL CONFERENCE:
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE VIRGINIA ANNUAL
CONFERENCE.
We recently celebrated Christmas with Bishop and Mrs. Richardson on December 16,2004 at Captain George's restaurant in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. The evening was filled with fun, fellowship, and great dining with our Episcopal team.
Last August, this reporter wrote, "The best is yet to come" as I echoed the spirit of the 2nd Episcopal District, and the Virginia Annual Conference is no exception. Our presiding elders, the Reverends I.W. Knight and S.W. Williams continue to lead with distinction.
Indeed Christmas comes every year. Our prayer is that the spirit of
Christmas will continue throughout the New Year and the days to come.

REMINDERS:
- Founder's Day is celebrated each year in February. The Editor
would like for the February 2005 issues of The Christian Recorder to be
largely devoted to Richard and Sarah Allen and the other early leaders
of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Request that you forward
articles ASAP. Any Founder's Day announcements will need to be
received immediately so that we can put your announcements in the end
of January edition of The Christian Recorder.
- March is Women's History Month. The Rev. Dr. Cecelia Williams
Bryant, Episcopal Supervisor of the Fifth Episcopal District "put a
bug" in my ear for an all women's issue of the Christian Recorder. I
have planned for that to happen in March 2005. I am hopeful that the
women of our Zion will see this as an opportunity and I hope that the
Women in Ministry (AMEC/WIM) will support this effort. Articles are
needed now and before February 5, 2005.
- The Christian Recorder will not be accepting articles or requests
for posts through the Christian Recorder Online website because the
posts are forwarded with all of the email addresses listed for anyone
to see. I do not want members' email addresses in a public venue. If
you want to post an article or announcement posted, send it directly
to: chsydnor@bellsouth.net
Articles are solicited and welcome.
