A Message From the Council of Bishops
The Council of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church mourns the transition of Bishop Vinton Randolph Anderson, the 92nd Bishop, on 9 July 2014. Bishop Anderson, elected to the episcopacy in 1972, was a distinguished pastor, writer, ecumenist, liturgist and leader in African Methodism and throughout the world.
Tributes and accolades will follow in due season. We now assume the place of quiet and prayer where faith ministers to us with grace as we reflect on our colleague, friend, father and mentor. We solicit the prayers of the Church for Mrs. Vivienne Anderson and Family.
Trusting in the promised comfort of God, we look beyond the horizon of mortality and bid peace to one of the fathers of our Zion as he has stepped into eternity.
