This agreement creates a partnrship insurance agency that will initially provide casualty-liability coverage for more than 60,000 black church properties and, by the end of the year, develop health and retirement-annuity cover age for approximately 250,000 church employees represented by CNBC, a national organization of the major black Christian de nominations. The Church Insurance Partnership Agency repre sents a unique approach to group insurance programs whereby the congress and its member denominations will have majority control of] the master agency, with I Aetna and a black managing | agent—Howard and Cloud holding minority interests. The purpose of the Church ] Insurance Partnership] Agency are to consolidate to j as great an extent as practi cable the vast insurance | needs of black churches] under a set of major group] plans ; and to recover j] through equity management I and cost reductions the excessive drain upon church resources spent each year on insurance and other I operational needs. Bishop John Hurst Adams, chairman of the congress, said, “The church leadership approaches this venture with the intent of ■ establishing an agency that is both an institutional in vestment and a church service vehicle. Through a long-range partnership with a dominant, progressive American insurance carrier, we hope to create a climate and sponsorship of substantial minority business opportunity and economic development under the aegis of the black churches and the congress.” According to Aetna Chair man John H. Filer, “This partnership agency allows for an exceptional marketing approach tor our products as well as providing an extraordinary opportunity to work with black institutions in generating economic growth and stability in the black community.” Joining Bishop Adams and Filer were other Aetna senior officers, Bradford Howard, Sr., and Sanford Cloud, Jr., of Howard and Cloud; Bishop Roy L. Winbush of the Church of God in Christ, and Dr. Wilbur N, Daniel of the National Baptist Con vention of America. “Over the past nine months, the congress worked closely with the Aetna and Howard and Cloud in constructing the terms of the master agency agreement,” said Howard. “This insurance program creates an efficient distri bution system, spreads the risks and reduces admini strative expenses for both the churches and Aetna.” The Congress of National Black Churches was founded in 1978 and consists of the leadership of the major historical black de nominations which include the African Methodist Epis copal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, the Church of God in Christ, the National Baptist Convention of America and the Progres sive National Baptist Con vention, Inc.

"He who listens under stands." —African proverb After One Academic Year Shaw Choir In Excellent Shape The Shaw University Gospel Choir has made an .i'Hpressive reputation for itself after just one academic year, and the . choir director is counting on even more success in the n.-ar future. "We’re doing very well,” Ms. Phyllis McLeod said re cently. “We have a pre dominantly freshman group and they are working out ex tremely well.” A counselor in Shaw Uni- \'ersity’s Upward Bound/ Rise program, Ms. McLeod and Ms. Ella Wilder Slaugh ter, director of the Shaw University Chorale Society, organized the choir at the onset of the 1983-84 aca demic year. Since that time the amazingly polished 55-voice choir has performed in numerous churches, at Meredith College, South eastern Seminary and most recently at the North Carolina Museum of Art. The choir will close out its 1983-84 season vdth perform ances at the Shaw Uni versity commencement exercise set for 11 a.m. Saturday, May 12, in tlie Raleigh Memorial Audi torium. A native of Perth Amboy, N.J., Ms. McLeod is proud of ner group. The group is pr.oud of her, too. To show just how proud they are of her dedication to the Shaw University Gospel Choir, members took time out during a recent concert • at Star Zion Missiona Baptist Church, New Bern, ’0 present Ms. McLeod with floiAO's, a cake and a Ms. Eleanor Mack, parent of one of the choir members, and Rodney Mack, brother of the member. Both live in New Bern. Having had what she describes as a “successful first year” with the choir. Ms. McLeod said she is looking forward to making the group even stronger. To do that she will be inviting musicians to Shaw University to conduct work shops for choir members. Ms. McLeod hopes to get the group prepared to par ticipate in various compe titions and to go on spring tour in the near future. But if recent reviews are any indication, the Gospel Choir is already ready for those kinds of endeavors. m ime ary ¥ .V Thf ■J'.. plaque read: :tor for your , which also ,F' -l musical i'. i.,-a to tiiC .. planned by I and SUNDAY SCHOOL 9:45 a.m. WORSHIP. . 11:00a.m. I Motto: “The Church Where Christ is Lord" nTTEnD SERDICE m Oak City Baptist Church 608 Method Rd. 8:52-6909 :K(‘v, .J.
