While visiting the General Conference in Orlando in 1992 I came across an AME tabloid publication. It seemed to focus on "behind the scenes" news. It was not the Christian Recorder or the Daily Record. Does anyone know what publication that might have been?

The recording is indeed a "behind the scenes", and therefore unauthorized, look at the workings of the General Conference. It was published in 1992 by Al Williams, himself an editor of the Christian Recorder before the tenure of Robert Reid. In 1996 one of his decendants took over the publication in the memory and vein of the father.

I regret that I don't recall the publication's name, but I am hopeful that it will be avilable again. It gives much better picture of the real workings of the floor, and it was the source of the tallies for the Episcopal elections to those who don't get to every session.

I believe the the publication was the A.M.E. Report.
