Greetings to you all in the namme of the triune God.The General Conference 2004 will be historical in the sense that overseas districts will have for the first time in the history of AME indegenous leadership.

Already there are more names circulating of potential candidates for Episcopal Office EO Bishops than that of Connectional Ofiicers CO.

Obviously not all of them will pull through to repsective offices and their popularity varies from person to person.Will you please join me on this forum in blowing the trumpet for the MOST prefered candidates in your Episcopal District.

Grateful you provide e-mail and or web sites of your most prefered caandidates.To start the ball rolling, here is the website address of the most prefered candidate for Bishopry in the 17th Episcopal District.

I have no problem with the candidature of Rev. N Jordan Mkwanazi. It is his right to run for or avail himself for election to the Episcopacy. But ... can you give us information as to where he is pastoring, what is he doing in / for Africa to run on a "Africa- ticket"?

The African electorate must be careful for who they will vote. It is my opinion that we should vote for candidates who live and pastor in Africa. Candidates who knows the needs, that can identify with the people of Africa and can develop a sustainable program for any Episcopal District - be it the First or the Seventeeth.

Can we have a listing of all the Africa Candidates for the Episcopacy as well as for General Officers?

God Bless You

Rev. Dimpho, Your appeal has been heard, and Rev. Menoais information has been added to the Candidate's List that I maintain, along with the link to his web site. This list is accessible from the Reedy Chapel web page as well.

Thank you for the information on this "son of the soil," and best wishes to him in his candidacy.

My sincerest apologies to Rev. Mengoai (correct spelling now): I was so excited to see his site that after I visited it, I forgot to capture the link! :). All should be well now.
