History has been made in the Delaware Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church!

Payne Theological Seminary proudly celebrates alumna Rev. Dr. Jacquita Wright-Henderson on her appointment as Presiding Elder of the Wilmington District — becoming the first woman ever to serve in this role in the DEAC.
