Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on December 06, 2013 Oakwood alumnus and U.S. Senate Chaplain Dr. Barry Black, who rose to international acclaim with his piercing daily Capitol Hill morning invocations during the recent 16-day federal government shutdown, will address "Leadership in Crisis: Speaking Truth to Power," during a special "fireside chat" on Sunday, December 8, 8:30 p.m., Oakwood University Seventh-day Adventist Church, to open the annual Pastoral & Evangelism Leadership Council (PELC) conference, the SDA world church's largest continuous annual gathering of pastors. According to PELC director/OU religion professor Dr. Jesse Wilson, "For this open-to-the-public session, Barry Black will be unpacking for us his recent role in the federal debt ceiling crisis, in an interview entitled, 'Leadership in Crisis: Speaking Truth to Power.' His remarks will gel perfectly with our 2013 theme, 'Greater,' as our goal is for God to prepare us for greater works of ministry and service." Wilson outlined the Sunday opening session as follows: - 6:00 pm- Musical mini-concert - 6:30 pm- Inaugural Service Awards Ceremony, presenting 1. Lifetime Achievement Awards to George Earle, Charles Joseph and Robert Woodfork. 2. Pastoral Leadership Award to Calvin Preston. 3. Evangelism Award to Patrick Vincent. 4.
