Howard Thurman
speaks to 21st-century
spiritual pilgrims
with keynote speaker Luther E. Smith Jr., Ph.D.
This daylong conference explores the many ways that Howard Thurman (1899-1981) still communicates with us about our own spiritual journeys. He has messages about the spiritual formation of our children, the pursuit of a just society and the inherent worth of all human beings.

ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
306 Peyton Road SW, Atlanta
Registration is underway here.*
Although Howard Thurman died more than three decades ago, his voice continues to speak lovingly and clearly to all who seek to live more fully in the 21st century. As we strive to make sense of our highly developed, technological yet struggling world, Thurman speaks. His timeless words invite any and all who embark upon the inward journey to ask the essential questions and to live the answers that lead to healing and freedom for individuals and societies.
PROGRAM (8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.)
The keynote speaker is Luther E. Smith Jr., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Church and Community, Candler School of Theology at Emory University. He writes and speaks extensively on the thought of Howard Thurman. His book, Howard Thurman: The Mystic as Prophet, was the first book-length interpretation of Thurman's spirituality. He edited Howard Thurman: Essential Writings, a book listed in The Christian Century as one of its 20 must-read books of 2007. Dr. Smith is the senior consulting editor to the Howard Thurman Papers Project (the second largest papers project on an African American).
Participants also will hear from the Rt. Rev. Robert C. Wright, D.D., bishop of of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, and Arleigh Prelow, Thurman filmmaker. Following the keynote speech and other presentations, there will be several break-out sessions led by facilitators whose lives and work are deeply rooted in Thurman's spirituality. The registration fee covers lunch and materials.

Medicaid Re-enrollment
If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you.
-
- Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage.
-
- During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone.
-
- Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage.
-
- Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location
-
- For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
