Daily Walking, Working, and Winning by God's Word by Rev. Dr. Alvin C. Hathaway Sr.

This week in Columbus, South Carolina the Bishops, leaders and members of the three major African American Methodist denominations: AME, AMEZ, and CME came together on Monday, March 1st through Wednesday, March 3rd in what was billed as, "The Great Gathering." This photo which announces "The Great Gathering" was held at the National Press Club. Of the five persons depicted, four are my friends and colleagues. Rev. Dr. Staccato Powell, Bishop Warren M. Brown, Bishop George Walker, and Bishop John R. Bryant. These men are committed to the struggle and provided leadership for our community at national and local levels. Our community has much to gained when our religious leadership address problems in a collective manner.
