Congratulations to Bishop Teresa E. Snorton, our Ecumenical Bishop and Development Officer, for her trailblazing leadership and remarkable legacy as a true history maker.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

--The following post is from the National Council of Churches--

Great ministries are measured by the lives they steady and the doors they open.

Bishop Teresa E. Snorton has spent her ministry strengthening the Church's witness for justice, healing, and faithful leadership. Through her service in the Christian Methodist Episcopal (CME) Church and the wider ecumenical community, she reminds us that the work of faith is not only preached from pulpits — it is lived through courage, scholarship, and unwavering service to others.

Her voice challenges the Church to stand with those seeking dignity, opportunity, and hope.

This is faith that leads.

This is faith that refuses silence.

 
 

Congratulations to PERIMETER EAST ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS (Past-Pres. Dr. Barbara Campbell of the 6th Episcopal District), 2026 President Elect Stacey Thibodeaux, and VP of Membership Edwina Clanton-for receiving THE TRAILBLAZER AWARD from Congressman Hank Johnson!

 
 

Roots of Resilience: Black History Through the Eyes of Faith

 is a transformative guide designed to empower churches and communities to teach Black History with confidence and conviction. At a time when public education struggles to preserve these vital narratives, this resource places the stories of Black Americans in the context of faith, resilience, and justice.

Grounded in biblical principles, Roots of Resilience connects historical struggles and triumphs to the ongoing call for equity and love in action. Readers, congregations, and small groups alike will discover how understanding the past can illuminate the path toward a better future.
