The Churches of Christ 62nd Annual National Lectureship Hosted by
Chicago, Illinois April 11-16, 2006 The Ephesian communique
authored by the apostle Paul is where we find the highest spiritual
truths and values concerning the Christian life and pilgrimage.
According to many students of the Scripture, it is without question
the most impersonal letter Paul ever wrote. The letter abounds with
spiritual riches and at the same time it is intensely practical.
The selected theme for the 62nd Annual National Lectureship hosted
by the Chicago area African-American churches of Christ is
succinctly entitled: "The Power of His Penetrating Presence" taken
from Ephesians 3:20. Each message and study cell presentation
afforded in this work derives from the Ephesian epistle, with the
exception of several "Remembrance Messages" given by ministers at
previous Lectureships. Our intended objective is not only to
embrace our salvific faith as members of God's new society, but
also to acknowledge many of the "great preachers who walked before
us" as well.
In this scholarly presentation, Dr. Penn invites the reader of this
significant research on a historical pilgrimage back to the early
portion of the nineteenth century, in order to revisit the lineage
and inception of the George-Kennedy-Anderson-Cathey family of
African descent. According to the author, "It is incumbent upon
those of us today who are surrogates of their sacrifices, to
remember the toil, the tears, the long-suffering and labor which
has been given on our behalf by this esteemed 'Collective' which
had its early beginning in the 'slave state' of Tennessee. It is
without question a legacy of fortitude and unfaltering faith that
we should never forget."
