Anglican Church Men 40TH Anniversary Conference

Anglican Church Men to convene in New Providence for it?s 40th
Anniversary of Conference and a Tribute to Men IV Banquet to be held
as part of the celebrations.


The Anglican Church Men's Organization in the Bahamas and the Turks
and Caicos Islands is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of our
establishment. The A.C.M. started under the patronage of the late Rt.
Rev'd Michael H. Eldon in 1972 as a means of bringing Anglican men
together to assist with the building and renovation of Church
property. It was also to mirror the Organization of Anglican Church
Women, established some nine years before.

Over the years, the A.C.M. has evolved into a Brotherhood of men who
seek to lift the Name of Jesus in the Diocese. Whether on Church
construction sites, Patronal Festivals, Retreats, Seminars and
Workshops to support for one another and the Church, the A.C.M. has
seen significant and committed growth worthy of mention. The A.C.M.
will be meeting in our 40th Conference, April 10 - 14, 2013 in the All
Saints Community Centre, South Beach, under the Theme: "Actioning
Christ's Mandate - Guided by the Light." speakers include the Rev?d
Dr. Roland Hamilton Asst. Curate at St. Margaret's Anglican Church who
will speak on Mental health, Physical health and Spiritual health,
Assistant, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr. Quinn McCartney will
speak on Mentorship and Barry J. Malcolm, President The Grand Bahama
Chamber of Commerce will speak on The Business outlook in Grand
Bahama.

This year, we host the 40th Conference in New Providence. A time when
men will come together to share strengths and weaknesses, while
charting the way forward. This year the Vision of the A.C.M. is
'Mentorship.' Brothers will developed programmes to reach our boys
and young men in a positive and meaningful way.

Another of the highlights during this years conference will be A
Tribute to Men Banquet. This event will be held at the Crown Ball
Room, Atlantis, on Friday, April 12, 2013 at 7:00pm. Through its
honours society, the A.C.M. institutionalized a means to honour men of
the A.C.M. for stellar service given to God through His Church and
community. During this occasion, the men selected from the Bahamas
and the Turks & Caicos Islands will be presented the "Bishop Michael
Eldon Medal of Distinction," by Bishop Laish Boyd, Diocesan.
