The 203rd Session of the New York Annual Conference
April 24 - 27, 2025
The Greater Allen AME Cathedral of New York is thrilled to host the 203rd Session of the New York Annual Conference, taking place April 23-27, 2025. This sacred gathering of clergy, laity, and community will unite nearly 100 congregations in worship and praise, as we reflect on our stewardship, ordain new ministers, and strategize for the future of the church.
It is with great anticipation that we look forward to formally welcoming our new Episcopal Leadership, Bishop Samuel L. Green, Sr. and Supervisor Phyllis N. Green, during their inaugural series of Annual Conferences in the First Episcopal District.
As we prepare to host you at the New York Annual Conference, please register online at allencathedral.org. This will allow our team to properly accommodate you and any needs that you may have. If you need lodging accommodations, please reserve your room at the Laguardia Airport Marriott Hotel by April 1, 2025.
