Old Ship of Zion: AME Zion General Conference Address by Kelcy Steele
August 11, 2016
I’m proud to declare that the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church is my church. It’s my church of birth, it’s my church of choice, and it’s the church I love.

We gathered and praised God for the safe arrival at the port of the 50th Session of the General Conference.

Andy Stoddard ~ How to Live Today in This World: A Letter
August 1, 2016
It seems as though our nation is divided, people are divided; communities are divided. What are we to do? As Christians, as the church, what are we to do?

Elizabeth Glass Turner ~ The Promise of Righteousness
July 28, 2016
Perhaps because of it’s very appearance and sound, there’s a halt, a slamming of the brakes. “Righteousness” begins visually and aurally, in English, with “right.” To say definitively that you’re immediately “right” in a pluralistic culture is a non-starter.
