Workshop Reflections From Atlanta 2009
One goal was that participants learn facts about African American contributions to The United Methodist Church (UMC) they may not have known. Another goal was that such information fosters greater appreciation, insight and encouragement about effective discipleship, evangelism and mission. Participants were provided tools to equip them in uncovering historical contributions of African American pioneers in their own local churches that are perhaps not widely known. Numerous ways of preserving and sharing information was presented by experts in the field of research."
