Evolution of the AME Anvil: From Print to Digital Documentaries
The AME Anvil, initiated by the Council of Bishops in 2005, has evolved over the years from a printed resource guide to digital documentaries. The Anvil has covered topics such as discipleship, service, integrity, social justice, innovation, finance, worship, and climate change. Additionally, the Council of Bishops has contributed $150,000 towards various AME Episcopal District issues. This evolution has allowed Episcopal Servants to share insights through sermons, prayers, and liturgy while supporting critical needs within the districts.
