Pastor Rohann D. Wellington, Greater New York Conference's Assistant to the President for Strategic Planning and Communication Director and James Richmond, Greater New York Conference Community Liaison were appointed on June 8, 2015 to Mayor de Blasio's Interfaith Advisory Council established to be a direct line of communication between religious leaders and City Hall.
As members of the Mayor's council, they will be able to bring the priorities and concerns of New York's congregants, including Greater New York Conference, to City Hall as well as share information on beneficial City programs and services within our communities.
They will be deputized to hold local meetings on matters pertaining to City public safety issues, housing, and education, and help identify and organize additional members of the clergy.
"We applaud Mayor Bill de Blasio for his bold initiative to engage spiritual leaders of the community in a collaborative effort to better the lives of every New Yorker and uplift our great city," said Pastor Rohann Wellington, "We look forward to a dynamic working relationship on this mayoral clergy roundtable."
