Transforming Lives and Building Communities: The Impact of the African Methodist Episcopal Church
The African Methodist Episcopal Church in the Fifth Episcopal District, through its Women's Missionary Society, is dedicated to transforming lives, building communities, and impacting the world. Their 2019 missionary theme, "This is Us," reflects their commitment to unity and service. With key figures like Rt. Reverend Clement W. Fugh and Mrs. Alexia B. Fugh leading the way, the church focuses on spreading hope, peace, and love. Additionally, the powerful song "From a Distance" by Bette Midler emphasizes harmony and the need for understanding in a world plagued by conflict.
