    Brooks, Charles Decatur (1930–2016) BENJAMIN BAKER Benjamin Baker, Ph.D. (Howard University, Washington, D.C.) is the author/editor of seven books and 150 articles and is the creator of two websites on Adventist history. He has taught history, religion, education, literature, and English at eight universities. Charles Decatur Brooks (universally known as “C. D. Brooks”) was one of the most successful evangelists of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and as speaker- director of Breath of Life Ministries for twenty-three years was a trailblazer of religious media.

    BLACK HISTORY MONTH Looking for additional resources to end your Black History Month observance – or to continue the conversation through the year? We may be at the end of February, but there’s still time to celebrate Black History Month. Scientific contributions, literature and the arts, social justice informed by faith--the contributions of African Americans to the U.S. have been central and significant. Black History Month is not a novelty where historical facts are read, and pictures of black celebrities are temporarily displayed. It is a recognition of the struggles, achievements and the ongoing contributions of African Americans to American life and culture. We are challenged to continue overcoming the barriers and injustices that persists; and through a deep and abiding faith in God, to pursue a society where love of Christ is manifest and liberty and justice for all prevails. Sankofa: to go back to the past and bring forward that which is useful GENERAL BLACK HISTORY MONTH: EVENTS This list provides a variety of ways to celebrate Black History month in February and beyond! https://interculturalministriescentral.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2020/02/Black-History-Events- 2020.pdf BLACK HISTORY MONTH ORIGINS In 1926, Carter G.

    OFFICIAL ORGAN OF TILE NORTH AMERICAN REGIONAL CONFERENCES OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENT VOLUME 8 OCTOBER, 1986 NUMBER 8 Ephesus — N.Y. City Celebrates Its Centennial It was on June 18, 1930 that approxi- mately 300 adventist members of the COVER STORY former Harlem #2 Church, pastored by Elder Matthew C. Strachan, moved into the building with Pastor George E. Peters who is credited with naming their new church home Ephesus. The church has had a long and glorious history and the pastors who served are known as some of Black Adventism's greatest leaders. It was from this early beginning that Ephesus grew to bless the Harlem community. For many years, it has maintained the honor of being our largest Black church in North America, boasting a membership of 2,000 plus. Numbered among Ephesus' sons and daughters are outstanding preachers (local, union, and general conference leaders), educators (church school teachers, college professors, college presidents), attorneys, doctors, nurses, business leaders, contractors, musicians, community leaders and good citizens. Pastors who have led the flock include: Elder G.E. Peters, Elder F.L. Peterson, Elder T.M. Rowe, Elder A.E. Webb, Elder W.S. Lee, Elder R.T. Hudson, Elder Robert Carter, Elder S.A. Hutchins, Dr. C.B.
