The experience of Hampton is best explained by believing that the Kingdom of God can inhabit the earth. As one moves through the crowds of people, you find friendly faces and warm spirits everywhere.
The Baltimore Clergy and Choir Personalities are in full force. There are friends from the family of faith everywhere. The presence of Rev. Dr. A.C. D. Vaughn who is able to call everyone by name is amazing to witness. He is the Chairman of the Board of Directors for The Hampton Minister's Conference for life. A testimony to his collegiality.

I sat in awe at the first lecture of Rev. Dr. Brad Braxton, Senior Pastor, Riverside Church of New York. He is a capable brother who is intellectually and theologically sound. The morning and afternoon weather was pleasant. The evening's weather is clouding, thundering, and raining. Nevertheless, the spirit of the Lord is here. You can feel it in the atmosphere.

Dr. Hathaway:
Are you taking any pictures from the Conference that you can post on your blog? I think that would be a nice complement to your post!
I'll be certain to take my camera with me today. So much is happening so quickly, thanks for the reminder!
