The Academy would like to welcome its newest National Partner, the Regional Council of Churches of Atlanta. RCCA considers itself a “congregation of congregations” whose mission is focus, shape, and amplify the voice of Atlanta churches on key spiritual, social, and economic issues facing the city.
RCCA’s Associate Director, Ethel Ware Carter, wrote in the partnership letter, “We will use our communication system – which includes a website and a weekly eNewsletter which goes to over 13,000 faith and community leaders – to increase the Academy’s local visibility and attract participants to events. We are excited about your work and would like to be involved in a Festival of Young Preachers here in Atlanta.”
The Council of Churches joins one other National Partner (Baptist Women in Ministry) and five Founding Partners in the Atlanta area (Morehouse College, Day1/Christian Media, Fund for Theological Education, Northeast Baptist Church, and McAfee School of Theology).
The Academy has 50 Founding Partners and is seeking 100 National Partners. Check elsewhere on this site for a list of the Founding Partners as well as information about becoming a National Partner. There is no cost involved in the partnership.
On Thursday, September 16, Dr. Dwight A. Moody, Founder and President of the Academy will be in Atlanta to speak at RCCA’s Pastors Breakfast Dialogue at Candler School of Theology. He will share information about the 2011 National Festival of Young Preachers as well as other Academy events planned for Atlanta. For more information about this event and to make reservations, contact Ethel Carter at 405-523-5554 or ecarter@rccatl.org.
Thank you RCCA for joining us in this great work!
