 Conversion

$100 Million from Historical Black Church for #NoPoverty2030

By Eric Stradford, U.S. Marine Corps, Retired

AMWS, December 25, 2023, Atlanta Federal Reserve Region  --  2.4 billion @followers today declared peace on earth.   One community of faith, envisioned from an old rugged cross more than 20 centuries ago, is leveraging Stolen Peoples’s Equity into an unprecedented conversion of the world’s 180 currencies back to a common core value.

As the issuing authority of U.S. currency, the Federal Reserve Board is responsible for ensuring that there is enough cash in circulation to meet the public’s demand domestically and internationally.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta is one of 12 regionally responsible stewards of the central bank of the United States. The Federal Reserve System—the Fed, as it is often called—consists of twelve Reserve Banks located around the country and the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C.

The Atlanta Fed, the 11 other Reserve Banks and Board of Governors play an important part in all five of the Fed's functions:

  • v  conducting monetary policy
  • v  promoting the stability of the financial system
  • v  promoting the safety and soundness of individual financial systems
  • v  fostering payment and settlement system safety and efficiency
  • v  promoting consumer protection and community development

The Atlanta Fed embraces diversity and inclusion as essential to its regional purpose.  The sixth of 12 U.S. regions includes Alabama, Florida, and Georgia, and portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.    Youth Achievers USA Institute, a Delaware 501c3 public charity based in the region, models economic inclusion for historically disadvantaged heirs of salvation.  “After 9-11-2001, we followed America’s money from Washington, D.C. back to the cradle of democracy, before sponsoring mobile LEARN-2-EARN missions to communities in the six state Federal Reserve Region,” said Stephanie A. Walker Stradford, CEO.

Since 1993, Mrs. Stradford has made mission on a “widow’s mite, ”  a value inherited from her maternal grandmother, the late Laurena Puriefoy Walker.  Stradford demonstrates economic inclusion through informed philanthropy, grassroots community reinvestment and measurable service.  Through her non-religious, non-governmental organization she funds capacity-building grants in cooperation with the historic Black Church Movement.

The Bishop of Georgia, The Rt. Reverend William P. DeVeaux, and Episcopal Supervisor Patricia Ann Morris DeVeaux, invited their friend, Stephanie A. Walker Stradford, to “carry out the spirit of the Original Free African Society.”   According to The New Georgia Encyclopedia, the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME Church) is a Christian denomination founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The late Bishop DeVeaux was the 113th elected, consecrated bishop in a lineage dating back to 1816 when Richard Allen was elected at the denomination’s first quadrennial conference. 

The Right Reverend Reginald T. Jackson, 132nd elected bishop, is the current “chief servant” for some 500 congregations across Georgia.  He, along with The Right Reverend Harry Lee Seawright (133) in Alabama, The Right Reverend Ann Henning Byfield (135) in Tennessee, The Right Reverend Stafford J. N. Wicker (137) in Mississippi and parts of Louisiana, and The Right Reverend Frank Madison Reid, III (138) in Florida, are the historically anointed fiduciaries for an unprecedented reparations settlement.  Their conversion of a $100 million missing preacher fund back to core value puts to practice that which is preached as The Reason For The Season.”   

Each year at this time, descendants of deep south slavery are challenged to hope for peace on Earth and Good will toward humankind.  But in this “season of giving,” distractions of war, poverty, and corruption challenge an emerging generation of believers to reclaim the “Spirit of Christmas.”

A “spiritual reset” in the 6-state Atlanta Federal Reserve Region may prove to be either a #NuclearOption for peace on Earth or the political balm for HEALING THE SOUL OF AMERICA.
