To our, clergy and lay members, I want to thank you for your patience in attending this virtual session. I want to acknowledge DS Seonyoung Kim and the York River District Host Committee that would be hosting us if the annual conference were in person. Our conference theme this year is “United as One,” guided by the biblical passage of John 17:20-23. “I’m not praying only for them but also for those who believe in me because of their word. I pray they will be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. I pray that they also will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me. I’ve given them the glory that you gave me so that they can be one just as we are one. I’m in them and you are in me so that they will be made perfectly one. Then the world will know that you sent me and that you have loved them just as you loved me.” (NRSV) We have a wonderful opportunity to live out our vision, to be disciples who are lifelong learners who influence others to serve, in faithful and active service to our communities by participating in conference-wide mission event on Saturday af- ternoon, June 19, 2021 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. I am encouraging each clergy and lay member to participate in their district. We will be practicing social distancing and mask-wearing to be compliant to the Virginia Annual Conference Technical Assistance Manuel (TAM). I am pleased to announce those who have graciously accepted our invitation to participate in the annual conference session. Our conference preachers will be Bishop David Graves, Resident Bishop of The Alabama West Florida Con- ference of The United Methodist Church (UMC) for the Service of the Ordering of Ministry. We will also hear from the Rev. Lydia Rodriguez, pastor of Wesley UMC, for the Memorial Service and the Rev. June Carpenter, pastor of Fieldale- Mount Bethel UMC Cooperative Parish, will speak on behalf of the retiring class. In addition, Rev. Dr. John Kinney, former Dean of The Samuel Dewitt Proctor School of Theology and Senior Vice-President of Virginia Union University, will teach two Bible study sessions. Our worship leader this year will be Mr. Gerald Ricks who will work alongside the conference Worship Planning Committee. This year our conference offering will continue to support Partnerships of Hope and the Virginia Area Food Pantries with- in the Virginia Annual Conference. Please continue to keep the annual conference gathering in your prayers. My prayer is that June 2022 we will be back in Hampton, Va., at the Hampton Roads Convention Center. May the Holy Spirit guide us as we seek to answer God’s call! Peace and Blessings, Bishop Sharma D. Lewis Resident Bishop of the Virginia Annual Conference 3 SPECIAL SPEAKERS Bishop David Graves (preaching for the Friday evening Service of Ordering of Ministry) Bishop David Graves’s passion is sharing Jesus, seeing the overlooked, joining God in transforming lives, and changing the world one person at a time. His study of leadership permeates all his work as a pastor, district superintendent and bishop. As a pastor, Bishop Graves led a small-membership church to become a medium-sized congregation and later a medium-sized church to become a large-membership congregation. He has a heart and hands for missions and has led several short-term (local, national, and international) mission teams. The Acts 1:8 model for missions came alive in the churches he has served. These church- es raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for mission work, plus trained laity in hands-on ministry. As a district superintendent, Bishop Graves implemented a district strategy that empowered both clergy and laity with leadership tools for effective and vital ministry. This strategy revitalized several churches that experienced growth in wor- ship attendance and membership; Sunday School and small group discipleship; missional giving and professions of faith. On Christmas Eve 2014, through a district offering, the Kingsport District generously gave more $230,000 for the District Partnership with Giru, South Sudan. Bishop Graves previously served as the Senior Pastor of Church Street United Methodist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. Prior to Church Street, he served six years as the district superintendent for the Kingsport District of the Holston Conference of the United Methodist Church. In 2011 and 2012, he served as Dean of the Cabinet. He has been an ordained pastor in the United Methodist Church for over 27 years and previously served as Senior Pastor of Ooltewah United Methodist Church, a large-membership church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for 11 years. Prior, he served as pastor of two Kingsport area churches, St. Matthew and Mountain View United Methodist. He was on staff and was given his first appointment at Hixson Unit- ed Methodist Church in the Chattanooga area where he served for 11 years. Bishop Graves is a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, and graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, with a Master of Divinity. He has shared 40 years of marriage with his wife, Nancy, and they have two children, Casey and Gregg. Casey is married to her husband Bryan, and they reside in Kingsport with their son Brooks and daughter Lucy.

    It is an exciting time to be a Hokie! With our entrance into the Atlantic Coast Conference, Virginia Tech has truly come home, where it deserves to be, in the ACC. It is also an exciting time for Virginia Tech basketball. The 2004-05 schedule brings the greatest challenge in school history; competing in the ACC. The Atlantic Coast Conference is THE BEST BASKETBALL CONFERENCE IN THE NATION, PERIOD. And we intend not just to play, but to compete and win. Our motto for the season is: ACC ACCept the challenge, ACCept the opportunity. This season, Virginia Tech will have the toughest and most attractive home schedule in school history. With games against Duke, Virginia, Maryland, Wake Forest and our first-ever ACC game, against North Carolina on Dec. 19th. There is a pretty good chance that the Hokies will entertain the top- ranked team in the country several times during the season. We finished our run in the Big East Conference on a very positive note. advancing to the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament after winning our last five home games to complete a winning season. To compete in the ACC will take a lot more from our players, our coaches, our fans and our entire program. The 2003-04 season saw Virginia Tech fans return to Cassell Coliseum in droves. As a school, we ranked sixth nationally in increased attendance. With this season’s schedule, we can surpass that stat. Sellouts will rule! The most satisfying aspect of my first season at Virginia Tech was the support and enthusiasm demonstrated by the students, fans and Commonwealth.

  • The Presidency of Warren Daniel Bowman 1949-1964
    x The Presidency of Warren Daniel Bowman 1949-1964 The Choice of a New College Head When Charles C. Wright was Bridgewater's acting president (1948-49), the search for a president of the college continued. In the fall of 1948, the institution's board of trustees, upon the recommendation of its search committee and of its executive committee, offered the presidency to Forrest L. Weller, a Manchester College graduate (1925) and a Ph.D. (1945) of the University of Chicago.1 Professor Weller, the Department of Sociology head at the University of South Dakota, accepted the appointment, but shortly thereafter resigned. 2 On December 31, 1948, the trustee board's executive committee, upon a motion made by John C. Myers, voted to consider Warren Daniel Bowman for the presidency of the college,3 and on February 21, 1949, the members of the board, by unanimous vote, elected Dr. Bowman president (his term to begin on July 1, 1949), and set his salary at $6,000 for the first year.4 The college's alumni association endorsed the trustees' action and assured the president-elect of its wholehearted support.5 ' The New President Warren Daniel Bowman (1894-1987), the son of Benjainin F. Bowman and Mary E. (Miller) Bowman, was born near Dayton, Virginia. He was educated at Bridgewater College (B. A., 1920) and at the University of Chicago (M.A., 1922; Ph.D., 1930). He was instructor at the State Teachers College, Farmville, Virginia, 1923-30; head of the Department of Education and Psychology at Juniata College, 1930-37; and a teacher in the summer sessions at George Peabody College for teachers (1923, 1924), Emory University (1925), the University of Virginia (1930), and Duke University (1936,1937).
