PLEASE READ AND SHARE this statement from our sisters in the Second Episcopal District.....

Official Statement of the
Women in Ministry of the
Second Episcopal District
Against the Recent Abduction of the Nigerian School Girls


Reverend Dr. Joan L. Wharton, President and the Women in Ministry of the Second Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church stand shoulder to shoulder with our Episcopal Leadership, Bishop William P. DeVeaux and Dr. Patricia M. DeVeaux and the entire Bishop's Council in solidarity against the horrific abduction of the 234 Nigerian school girls.

Our hearts broke upon hearing of their kidnapping from their dormitory at the Government Girls Secondary School in the Nigerian town of Chibok. We stand boldly against the injustice and discriminatory practices against women and we rebuke and denounce the attack of the enemy through the violence, persecution and intimidation of the Boko Haram's regime throughout the country of Nigeria.

Our hearts grieve the lack of response from the Nigerian government and ask the Lord to empower them to have a swifter response. As the entire body of the Women in Ministry of the Second Episcopal District stand in solidarity, we lift up our hands in Prayer and Intercession, and we Plead the Blood of Jesus and Release Protection and Healing over the lives of these young girls and their families.

We agree with the United States State Department and seek the Holy Spirit's intervention for the release and return of these young girls to their families and homes. It is our Prayer that the diplomatic, intelligence and military forces of our Nation will do all that they can to assist the immediate release of these young girls.

Therefore, we the Women in Ministry of the Second Episcopal District Decree and Declare "Bring Back Our Girls" and we will continue to stand in agreement with our Episcopal leadership for the continued safety and protection of young women everywhere. Likewise we will pause this Mother's Day Sunday for a Moment of Silence and Prayer, giving honor and recognition to "their mothers and womanhood".

We will continue to Pray, Stand Fast and Position to call out in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, until these young girls are returned.
