Happy Anniversary BMCR!!!

The Southeastern Jurisdiction (SEJ) of the Black Methodist for Church Renewal, Inc (BMCR) celebrated their 40th anniversary on the Mississippi Gulf coast.

There were 16 different conferences represented including New York and New Mexico. The Mississippi and Western North Carolina Conference had the largest number to register, with eighteen. Mississippi Conference Officers elected for 2009 included Rev. Z. Beasley, vice-coordinator and Rev. J. Barnes, nomination committee.

Dr. D. Beckley and Rust College were thanked for hosting Harambee 2008. Rust College welcomed over two hundred and sixty youth from across the SEJ. A presentation of the event was shown at the meeting. Representation from Rust College did a wonderful job representing the Mississippi Conference. Dr. Beckley greeted the youth by riding his motorcycle on stage. Due to the large success of Harambee, Haaambee II is being planned. Harambee is for youth and Harambee II will be for college students/young adults.

Rev Z. Beasley and the Mississippi planning team are to be commended for a job well done.

Important details about the business session will be reported at a later date.
