Many officers were absent. Moderator Spencer said that Sis Marie Winfrey let him know that she is preparing to go out of town on job-related duties. Dr. Junior Greenlee was also unable to attend. Dr. Spencer stated that officers should be present at the Board meetings for input and information. Moderator Spencer has a letter to present for Little Rock Missionary Baptist Church seeking membership in WUBDA. A letter will be read at the Parent Body Session. The pastor is Rev. Donald Brownlee. It was stated by Sis. Joanne Elder that the letter needs to be read at the Annual or Adjourned Session or the church needs to wait a year and be admitted at the next Annual/Adjourned Session. Vacant offices need to be dealt with. We need all of our offices filled. The Women s Auxiliary will try to fill offices during the Break-Out Session. Due to some confusion, Dr. Spencer will meet with the Laymen as they fill their vacant offices. The Parent Body needs an assistant Corresponding Secretary. New Mercy Baptist Church has reached out to WUBDA for membership. So far, WUBDA has not received two letters of recommendation. It was said that Unity Baptist Church used to be a part of our organization, but Unity was dissolved and New Mercy Baptist Church organized a new church under a new name. Dr. Joanne Elder has contact information for further investigation. Dr. Huston will see that Rev. Anthony receives the contact information. Moderator Spencer reported that the sitting OBGC President, Rev. Otha Gilyard, was reelected. The OBGC Adjourned Session will be December nd and rd in Gallipolis, Ohio. There was a discussion about some WUBDA member churches not being members of OBGC. How fair is it for members of our organization to vote on matters dealing with OBGC? It was stated that WUBDA has no voice as a collective organization. Delegates from individual churches vote at OBGC. So WUBDA members vote on WUBDA matters whether or not it is an OBGC issue. District associations do not have clout at the State as we used to when we sent Rev. Young s name to be a Vice President of OBGC. Changes need to be made. Congress of Christian Education Dean, Rev. Dr. Ashton Allen stated that the Break-Out Sessions would be continuation of the Annual Session classes with business at the back end. Rev. Dr. Charles Spencer Moderator Sis.
