Blessed Absalom Jones offering to assist
Episcopal Historically Black Colleges and University
In honor of February Black History Month and Blessed Absalom Jones, the first African American priest in the Episcopal Church, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry has called for an increased understanding and commitment to the Episcopal Historically Black Colleges and University, known as HBCUs. The Presiding Bishop invites Episcopalians “to deepen our participation in Christ’s ministry of reconciliation by dedicating offerings at observances of the Feast of Absalom Jones to support the two remaining Episcopal Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCUs): St. Augustine’s University in Raleigh, NC, and Voorhees College in Denmark, SC.”
The two institutions of higher education were founded in the later 19th century as an Episcopal Church missionary venture. “These schools bring educational, economic, and social opportunity to often resource-poor communities, and they offer many blessings into the life of the Episcopal Church,” he said.
Donations to the HBCUs will provide much needed help to: offer competitive scholarships and financial aid; attract and retain exceptional faculty; support cutting-edge faculty research; install new and upgraded technology campus-wide; provide state-of-the-art classroom and athletic equipment.
“The Episcopal Church established and made a life-long covenant with these schools, and they are an essential part of the fabric of our shared life,” the Presiding Bishop noted. HBCUs Once there were 10 HBCUs; however, St. Augustine’s and Voorhees are the only two remaining: Saint Augustine’s University (SAU) was founded in 1867 by the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina. Located in Raleigh, over 1,000 students pursue Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees at SAU, while adult learners engage in advanced studies in Criminal Justice, Organizational Management, and Religious Studies. The mission of the university is to sustain a learning community in which students can prepare academically, socially, and spiritually for leadership in complex, diverse, and rapidly changing world. www.st-aug.edu Voorhees College is a private historically black four-year liberal arts college located in Denmark, SC. Voorhees was founded as the Denmark Industrial School by Elizabeth Evelyn Wright, a young black woman, in 1897. A former student of Booker T. Washington, Miss Wright dreamed the seemingly impossible dream of starting a school for African American youth in rural Bamberg County, SC. www.voorhees.edu To donate Donations are accepted here www.episcopalchurch.org/Give For more information, contact Tara Elgin Holley, Episcopal Church Director of Development, [email protected] Absalom Jones Absalom Jones is commemorated in the Episcopal Church on February 13. Jones was an African American abolitionist and clergyman and the first African American ordained a priest in The Episcopal Church. Absalom Jones was born enslaved to Abraham Wynkoop in 1746 in Delaware. Jones moved to Philadelphia after his master sold his plantation along with Absalom’s mother and six siblings. Jones bought his wife Mary’s freedom and later his master granted Absalom’s emancipation in 1784. In 1787, with his friend Richard Allen, they founded the Free African Society, a mutual aid benevolent organization that was the first of its kind organized by and for black people. Bishop William White ordained Jones a deacon in 1795 and a priest on September 21, 1802. Jones faithfully served the people at the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas in Philadelphia, a church which remains a vibrant congregation. “As we approach February, the remembrance of the Blessed Absalom Jones, the first African- American priest in the Episcopal Church, we
have a unique opportunity to celebrate his memory and to honor the witness of two schools that continue to form new leaders,” Presiding Bishop Curry said. “In honor of Jones’ commitment to advancing the education of African Americans and promoting the development of African American leaders in all areas of life, the Episcopal Church is delighted to designate Saint Augustine’s University and Voorhees College as the beneficiaries of the 2018 Feast of Absalom Jones offerings.” Bulletin inserts are available here: http://episcopaldigitalnetwork.com/stw/bulletin-inserts/ Blessed Absalom Jones offering to assist Episcopal Historically Black Colleges and University https://www.episcopalchurch.org/posts/publicaffairs/blessed-absalom-jones-offering-assist- episcopal-historically-black-colleges-and

Our Motto:
Welcome home to Christ's healing love; Go share the joy, hope and love of Jesus
Christ.
The Order of St. Luke (OSL) is an ecumenical organization dedicated to the Christian healing ministry. We are volunteers committed to Jesus Christ as God, the Son who heals today and who proclaims wholeness today. We believe Christian Healing and competent medical care are not averse, but complement each other. We are not a church. We are not a club. We are not a social institution. We are an organization of faith, prayer and service with Chapters throughout the world. Our members come from many backgrounds of dogma, discipline and experience. We are medical people, lay people and clergy devoted to bringing this ministry to all who need physical, spiritual or emotional healing. We exist as an organization because we are people into whose lives God’s call has come prodding us to respond; to do something with our lives that others may experience in their lives the daily healing power of Jesus Christ. To learn more, visit our website at orderofstluke.org or call toll-free at (877) 992-5222.
Answer the Call! Join OSL today!
