A NOTE FROM THE COUNCIL OF BISHOPS
OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH
March 31, 2020
To The Connectional Church:
In light of the uncertainty around the spread and management of the novel coronavirus pandemic, Covid-19, the leadership of the African Methodist Episcopal Church has rightly placed the health and well-being of our members as the fundamental priority. Thus, it has been determined that it is wise and prudent to reschedule the 51st General Conference. The results of a series of conversations with officials in Orange County and the Convention Center, and several meetings with the Bishops, and the most recent meeting of the General Conference Commission, a decision has been made to postpone the General Conference. We are currently considering alternative dates in collaboration with the Convention Center and Officials in Orange County/Orlando that will also include dates in 2021. A date certain will be announced within the next few weeks — when all hotel and Convention Center negotiations are complete....
Please pray for the health of the world, the nations, and the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Respectfully Submitted,
Bishop Harry L. Seawright, President, Council of Bishops
