COGIC SCHOLARS ACADEMIC FORUM-MEMPHIS 2008
This year the COGIC Scholars Academic Forum will be in session during the O.T. Jones Sr. Memorial Education Institute. I would like to extend an invitation to all to come and be a part of this exciting group composed of pastors, missionaries, seminarians, and academics. Again, we will be meeting on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10:00am to 12pm. On Wednesday, November 5th, Dr. Jamal-Dominique Hopkins, assistant professor of New Testament at the Interdenominational Theological Center will be presenting “Ancient Communities and Modern Movements: Schisms Among the Religious Faithful.” On Thursday, November 6th, we will hear from Elder Mack Mason as he presents from his latest book written on the life and ministry of his grandfather, the late Bishop John O. Mason, entitled, Bishop John O. Mason on Heaven’s Railway:

The Making of a Bishop and his Contributions to the History of The Church of God in Christ. On Saturday, November 8th Sister Regina Glaspie will present on the Saints and Healthy Marriage Project followed by Sister Sandra Williams presenting on the ministry of Mother Vera Boykin of St. Louis, MO from the book she coauthored And Ye Shall Receive Power: The Spiritual Life of Vera Boykin, Her Life, Letters and Sermons. At the end of each session, there will be an opportunity to meet and greet the authors, purchase a copy of their book, and have it autographed. Members and friends of COGIC Scholars are invited to come and be a part of these highly informative and thought-provoking sessions.
