[REPRINTED FROM FEBRUARY 2001 ISSUE] On Friday, February 2 officials of the AME Church held the first Board of Directors meeting of AME Reinsurance, LTD--an insurance company wholly owned and operated by the AME Church for the AME Church--in Hamilton, Bermuda. Incorporated in the previous week, AME Reinsurance was formulated to cover the insurance needs of the denomination and eventually internalize the Connection's insurance purchasing so that these funds can stay within the AME Church. Bishop Phillip R. Cousins, prelate of the 4th Episcopal District and a driving force behind self-insuring, is the chairman of the new company. [As announced by Elder Wilson during the 3rd Quarterly Conference, AME churches nation-wide are being encouraged to swich their coverage to this new entity once their current outside coverage expires. More information regarding this matter is certain to made available to the membership soon.]
