The time is swiftly counting down when we will converge on the city of Philadelphia, PA, for the 57th Annual Session of the Progressive National Baptist Convention.
The 56th Annual Session of PNBC is behind us. Houston was a welcoming site. As we left, however, we were heart-broken by the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey. Thanks to the quick service of Dr. Frankie T. Jones, Sr., Chairman of our Disaster Relief Task Force as he reached out to Vice-President Philip Kent of the Southwest Region to assist the Houston pastors.
Most of us are probably still in shock in the wake of Donald Trump being elected as the next president of the United States.

Though it hardly seems possible, we are standing on the threshold of another annual session. August 7-12, 2016 will be here before we know it, and we can't afford not to be aware of all that we have in store when we gather at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, LA for our 55th Annual Session.

The 53rd Annual Session of our beloved Progressive National Baptist Convention (PNBC) is behind us. I take this moment to express again my gratitude to my entire Progressive Family for the privilege of serving as your 20th president.
