Candidates forum
An Episcopal Forum hosted by Black Methodists for Church Renewal was held this evening to introduce the ten candidates to the delegates. The forum’s purpose was to interview episcopal candidates, one at a time, and gain insight into who or what shapes their understanding of racism in the church and how they will continue the work of dismantling and eradicating racism in their role as bishop.
