WHAT SAY YOU?

Three weeks out...the buzz is alive and well.

I had the most wonderful time at the 2024 Synod of the Shrines of the Black Madonna of the Pan African Orthodox Christian Church last month. This historic Christian denomination was founded by Rev. Albert Cleage, Jr. aka Jaramogi Abebe Agyeman in the mid 20th century.

It was a pleasure to visit with you and your members. I enjoyed the conversations. It is a blessing to have met such wonderful people with passion and dedication to the community. I had no idea this organization was robust, engaging, and inspiring. The future seems a bit brighter. What you and the church have accomplished is amazing already. It's an experience for me to have witnessed such black unity. The message I felt was so powerful and profound. The sight of so much black excellence would make anyone proud.

SUCCESSION PLANNING MEMBER SURVEY

As we continue the formal process of re-imagining BCN, it must include a well-developed succession plan that can effectively support the institutional framework and broad scope of our organization. It must include a method to regularly assess our operations, program, and mission as they intersect with our core values, theology, theory, and practices. Let YOUR voice be heard by participating in a brief questionnaire.
