Letter From the Rector

Union of Black Episcopalians Annual Conference

The Union of Black Episcopalians met at the Melia Resort, in Nassau, Bahamas from

July 22 – July 27, 2018 to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. Members from the United States,

Panama, the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas were present. The week was filled with Bible

Study, Worship, Workshops and Fellowship. Evening worship services were held at various

churches on the island—St. Agnes Church, St. Barnabas Church, and Holy Cross Church-

Seabreeze. I became reacquainted with a seminary classmate who is now the Interim Dean at the

Cathedral Church of All Saints, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. I was also fortunate to meet the

President of St. Augustine’s University and to hear presentations from the President of Voorhees

College and St. Augustine’s. Voorhees ended their last fiscal year in the black. They exceeded

the goal for their Capital Campaign. Student life and financial health are improving in significant

ways. St. Augustine’s reported an increase in enrollment and progress meeting their goals with

respect to accreditation standards. The President was hopeful and confident that better days are

yet to come. Your prayers and support are encouraged for each institution. St. Augustine’s and

Voorhees represent the last institutional symbols of higher education for Episcopal African-

Americans in the United States.

The Annual Business Meeting was held on Thursday, July 26th. The officers were

encouraged but cautiously optimistic. The Union needs your support. Yearly memberships,

church sponsors and lifetime memberships are needed. The net income for 2017 was $9,943.00.

The net income for the period January – May 2018 was $86,018. The final report for 2018 will

be made at the next meeting.

The UBE Clergy were invited to spend an afternoon at the home of Sir Franklyn and

Sharon Lady Wilson. Before lunch, I had a casual and friendly conversation with a former

Attorney General (also a former Member of Parliament) and another former Member of

Parliament. The photographer for the event assumed I was the Bishop of one of the Island’s

churches. I proved him wrong at a later time but others at my table agreed that the resemblance

was quite remarkable. Perhaps I have unknown and distant relatives in the Bahamas. Only God

knows for sure. The UBE Clergy were both impressed with and grateful for the abundant

hospitality and generosity of Sir Franklyn and his wife Sharon.

The UBE has been at the forefront of the many challenges facing African-Americans in

general and black Episcopalians in particular. It is nevertheless struggling to maintain its vitality.

It needs more active participants. It needs more youth and young adults. There was much

concern at the Annual Conference about the need to recruit and retain more youth and young

adults to participate in leadership positions. This is perhaps no different from the NAACP or any

other black organization created to advance the political, social and economic interests of

African-Americans. For St. Cyprian’s Church, the difference lies with the purpose of the UBE

within the national Episcopal Church. If were are to continue to remain relevant and influential,

we must build on the work accomplished over the last 50 years. We must maintain our

organizational vitality if we are to show the Episcopal Church the way forward. We can and we

must.

Prayer for Saint Cyprian

Almighty God, who gave to your servant Cyprian boldness to confess the Name of

our Savior Jesus Christ before the rulers of this world, and courage to die for this

faith: Grant that we may always be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in

us, and to suffer gladly for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns

with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

It is our custom on St. Cyprian’s Day to recognize those persons who have been

members of our parish for 50 years and more. This recognition takes place at the

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IS ADDRESSING GLOBAL WARMING

Virginia Interfaith Power & Light (VAIPL)

Virginia Interfaith Power and Light is an organization dedicated to bringing

together all faith communities to mobilize a religious response to climate change

through energy conservation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.

Mission

We are people of faith collaborating to grow healthy communities and advance

climate justice through education, advocacy and worship.

Climate Action by the Episcopal Church with VAIPL (Saint Stephen’s

Episcopal Church, Richmond, VA)

The Episcopal Church is taking action to solve pressing environmental problems.

In an effort to create awareness and knowledge, VAIPL, along with folks from the

Diocesan Creation Care Task Force, had a table at Saint Stephen’s Farmers Market

to spread the good news on how the Episcopal Church is addressing global

warming.

Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP)

Dominion has targeted Union Hill in Buckingham County, a historic community

founded by former enslaved people, as the site for the Virginia Atlantic Coast

Pipeline (ACP) compressor station. If the compressor station is built, experts have

warned that residents would be in danger and in the impact zone for health hazards

from air, noise, and water pollution.

Echoes of a Dark Past at Virginia’s Standing Rock

A consortium of companies led by Dominion Energy sought approval for the

Atlantic Coast Pipeline to be built on property that many residents can trace their

lineage back to those who previously labored there as slaves. While outrage cuts

across racial lines, the potential harm that the pipeline would have on the ecology,

tourism, economic development and property values is well documented.

A Brief History of Union Hill in Buckingham County

In March 1865, as the Civil War approached its fiery end, Congress created the

United States Bureau or Refuges, Freedom and Abandoned Lands, commonly

known as the Freedmen’s Bureau. “The Bureau was empowered to distribute

clothing, food, and fuel to destitute freedmen and oversee ‘all subjects’ relating to

their condition in South.” The Bureau also was authorized “to divide abandoned

and confiscated land into forty-acre plots for rental to freedmen and loyal refugees

and eventual sale” and to create Freedmen’s schools to provide education to the

newly freed population. ~Eric Foner, A Short History of Reconstruction (31, 43).

Freedmen’s Bureau offices were established across the south. One of those field

offices was in Buckingham County, Virginia. Buckingham was a majority Black

county before, during and after the Civil War and it was home to many freedmen

who had purchased their freedom even before the end of slavery. The Bureau took

up residence at the Buckingham County Courthouse, an historic building designed

by Thomas Jefferson, and established a Freedmen’s school there, known as the

Lincoln School.

In February 1869, an arsonist burned the Buckingham County Courthouse to the

ground. As Dr. Lakshmi Fjord, a cultural anthropologist and Visiting Scholar at

the University of Virginia (UVA) has written, the fire “destroyed all records of

enslavement, wills {and} slave purchases of their freedom…that might be used by

the 2:1 majority former slaves to sue former masters for restitution.” ~ HuffPost,

Jonathan Sokolow, July 17, 2017

Update:

A federal appeals court has thrown out two key permits for the Atlantic Coast

pipeline. A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that

construction should be halted on the 600-mile natural gas pipeline. The judges

ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permit was “arbitrary and capricious”

because it provided no specific limits for the allowable impact on five threatened

or endangered species. “They also vacated a right-of-way permit from the U.S.

National Park Service because it allows the pipeline to pass underneath the Blue

Ridge Parkway without explaining how the project would not be inconsistent with

the scenic parkway, part of the National Park System.” The three-judge panel said

a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permit was “arbitrary and capricious “because it

provided no specific limits for the allowable impact on five threatened or

endangered species. ~ “Appeals court tosses key permits for Atlantic Coast

pipeline,” Associated Press and Julia Fair, August 6, 2018

Dear Parishioners,

I greatly appreciate your sustaining support, encouragement and commitment, especially

shown by the parish’s Episcopal Church Women (ECW) and its Episcopal Executive

Board (Vice President-Mrs. Joyce Harden, Recording Secretary- Ms. Jean H. Carnegie,

Treasurer- Ms. Brenda Vinson, Corresponding Secretary- Ms. Alberta Reid, and

Parliamentarian- Ms. Karen McAdoo); United Thank Offering Coordinator-Ms.

Stephanie H. Kendall; Church Periodical Club Director-Minnie Stiff, MD; the diligently

laboring committee chairs; and sometimes challenging encounters during the past three

years. However, after prayerful reflection, I have decided to step-down, as St. Cyprian’s

ECW President, effective September 9, 2018, due to my upcoming installation as

President of the ECW for the Diocese of Southern Virginia.

My experiences as your ECW President, with the help of God, will be instrumental in my

involvement as a productive servant to “carry on Christ’s work of reconciliation in the

world, to take the place as a leader in the life, governance, and worship of the church.”

Thank you for all you have done to prepare me for this important ministry, in the life of

the Church.

I am more than willing to assist in any way possible to make this transaction a smooth

one. Despite this new position, I will continue to be an active member of the various

ministries in our church.

While the Episcopal Church Women will achieve successes and overcome some

obstacles, let us continue to keep the vision and its mission, as we move forward in

LOVE in the 21st century. May the Spirit of God protect and keep us under His wings.

Yours in Christ,

Laura L. Manigault St. Cyprian’s ECW President

Saint Cyprian’s Church is named after Cyprian, the first Bishop of Carthage, North Africa (248-258). He

spoke for reconciliation of the Church with those who had denied their faith. Cyprian was beheaded for

refusing to worship pagan gods and deny Christianity. Thus, he became a martyr of Christ’s Church

universal.
