Alaska Pacific Conference
by Nathaniel Scott
N ev A
I he last C M E Conference to be
held in Portland was in 1981, Rev.
Edw ards said. " T h e an n ual c o n
fe re n c e is set up to receive the
pastoral reports and also, to confer
pastorship for the next year." C M E
pastors have to have their p asto r
ship co n ferred on a yearly basis.
W hich, usually, but not necessaryily
always, means being reappointed to
the same church. I accepted the call
to preach in 1949, but I have been a
pastor for 25 years.” Rev. Edwards’
pastorship began in C alifo rn ia, but
for the past nine years, he has been
assigned to the Alaska Pacific C o n
ference. Seven o f those years were in
Seattle, W ashington, and the past
two have been in Portland.
W hile the conference is in session,
d a ily w orsh ip services w ill be at
noon and again at 7 :3 0 p .m .,
evenings. Rev. Edwards added that
the public is invited to attend the
worship services and any and all o f
the business sessions, to o.
C o -h o s t, Rev. M u m fo rd , aside
fro m p asto rin g S m ith C h ap el fo r
the past five years, also hosts the
p o p u la r " G o s p e l T r a in ” ra d io
broadcast, each Sunday morning on
radio station K A A R , A M , 1480 on
the dial. The gospel music program
runs from 8:30 to 9 a m.
