I'm so proud of Rev. Dr. Vashti McKenzie being elected Bishop of the AME Church...not just because she is female or that she black or the fact that she is a member of this illustrious organization; however I'm excited at the face when the Southern Baptist Church ruled that women can't preach in the pulpit, GOD saw fit to place a WOMAN in such a high authoritive position! This was truly HIS doing and has blessed her beyond measure. She is truly a woman that I respect and admire. I've heard her only once at a program at my school (VUU) w/ a collegue of hers (Ann-Lightner Fuller) and her message still rings in my heart to this day.
