Bishop Spong in five-part Atlanta series



The Rt. Rev. John Shelby Spong, liberal Chrsitian, critical thinker, provocative author and speaker, and bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark, New Jersey from 1978 to 2000, will lead a five-part program on Building a New Christianity for a New World, September 16-19, in Atlanta.

Update of August 24

Momentum is building for this historic Atlanta event. The latest news is that the series will be capped with the
unveiling of a portrait of Bishop Spong in the Hall of Honor at the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College. Placed along with other world leaders, such as Dr. King, Mahatma Gandhi, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Andrew Young, Jimmy Carter, and others, Bishop Spong is being honored as a prominent modern day Christian prophet defending the civil and human rights of the oppressed and abused around the world today. This special recognition will take place following the Sunday afternoon lecture and discussion with Bishop Spong at the King Chapel at Morehouse, the last of the five part series by Bishop Spong.

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.”
