The role of the Black church has been prominent in the majority of African American households in one way or another. Many religious organizations and affiliations were formed in an era where rights and freedom for healthcare, education, and other means of successful living were not yet granted to African Americans. Therefore, the structure and community of the church is where leadership, trust, and support comes from. It was their faith that gave them strength to endure their individual battles, and the black church provided the structure of trust and support. This program was created to foster dialogue, awareness, and education within the medical community regarding the current health of African Americans and implications of centuries of medical oppression. The goal of this conference is to facilitate dialogue between prominent leaders within the Black Church and medical professionals in an effort to bridge the gap of distrust and lack of access in healthcare systems to provide better care to African American patients, and to further eliminate racial disparities in health outcomes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3adf8ce2844541432226/1623777773242-Z0BPUKEVCCZIYZ3GX68W/Role+of+the+Black+Church+in+Healthcare+Screensaver+with+all+speakers.jpg The Role of the Black Church in Healthcare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3adf8ce2844541432226/1619537777130-EF60MYDRTTPE2ZWXSWE8/7YZCW1zA.jpeg The Role of the Black Church in Healthcare - KEYNOTE SPEAKER: REV.

Dr. Jamal-Harrison Bryant Visionary. Civil rights activist. Community organizer. Dr. Jamal-Harrison Bryant combines sound Biblical teaching, business acumen and political insight to propel the Body of Christ to action and greater levels of faith. Since his youth, Dr. Bryant has prevailed against the odds - rising from G.E.D. to Ph.D. Prior to pastoring, he served as the national youth and college director of the NAACP for six years, where he helped to mobilize over 70,000 youth worldwide in non-violent campaigns. Dr. Bryant, a third-generation minister, was the founding pastor of Empowerment Temple AME Church in Baltimore, Maryland, acclaimed as the fastest-growing African Methodist Episcopal Church in the denomination’s 200-year history. With an undeniable gift to bring generations from the Civil Rights movement, Dr. Bryant incites change in the faith community. His ability to reach across social, economic and political barriers has helped people to not only experience the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ, but to activate success in their everyday lives. His ministry became an incubator for entrepreneurs, homeowners, and the like. Additionally, programs under his guidance have aimed to spread the Gospel, develop strong leaders, empower the economically disadvantaged, and challenge social injustices. In December 2018, Dr. Bryant was appointed the Senior Pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia. His leadership efforts have already begun to strengthen the multi-generational bond among members, expand community outreach, cultivate families and expand the church’s cultural significance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3adf8ce2844541432226/1619616244549-A51TYY0XAE6NX6QPG2Z9/Hackett+sm.png Role of BLK Church Speakers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3adf8ce2844541432226/1619543050523-YLH3E4RAXA952WO528IN/Superintendent+Ronald+Gates+sm.jpg Role of BLK Church Speakers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3adf8ce2844541432226/1619540078653-XJKILRF5KGB3WMWTDRAF/Frayne+Dan+outdoors+5-31-19.jpg Role of BLK Church Speakers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3adf8ce2844541432226/1619540736530-BCVT3WTG3J619M7TMSUS/IMG_6254crop.jpg Role of BLK Church Speakers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3adf8ce2844541432226/1619541072589-I74IRFIOJZJK4ESIBFH2/pic.jpg Role of BLK Church Speakers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3adf8ce2844541432226/1619543454388-VTD46ZVA5HVXPEGN8685/image.jfif Role of BLK Church Speakers https://www.avlaahs.net/symposium daily 0.75 2021-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3adf8ce2844541432226/1624579436198-QGR71Q246YNJZNMS2SU0/unsplash-image-L8tWZT4CcVQ.jpg Symposium 2021 - Symposium Agenda Click here to download the Symposium brochure.
