Conversion
$100 Million from Historical Black Church for #NoPoverty2030

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.
