MESSAGE FROM

ARCHBISHOP CARL BEAN, D.M.

HAITI: “WE”

When thinking of the devastation left in the aftermath of Haiti’s earthquake, WE are called by our Creator to respond with the love of God, which calls us to those places pain exists in the human family. We certainly know from what happened in New Orleans, that for people of color, there can sometimes be a lack of rapid response. That must not be so in this case. In addition to our prayers, I encourage you to give through reputable organizations like The American Red Cross and UNICEF.  Even if it is just $5.00, everyone can, and should help.

In addition to your prayers and giving, I encourage you to read up on the history of Haiti and understand the importance of this first Black nation to be liberated from captivity. Haiti is a nation that fought seemingly insurmountable odds to win its social and political freedom from the French. When you understand the stories of men like Toussaint L’Ouverture and others, you can see the strength and power that this
nation stands upon. 

The human experience is one that always longs for freedom. Whether it is a nation like Haiti or a denomination, all of us have a right to be free. The Unity Fellowship Church Movement is built upon that truth. As a child of God, we all have a right to be free and must in turn work hard to help ensure the freedom of and care for our sisters and brothers in the human family.

Archbishop Carl Bean, D.M. 

Founder and Prelate of the Unity Fellowship Church Movement

“WE”
