Cary D. Gibbs, of the 14th Episco
pal District of the AJIE Church wa.«
the Vesper speaker at Florida A and
M College Sunday, March 26. Bishop
Gibbs after a year spent in Africa
is currently visiting all of the Epis

think missions."
Said he, “I can tell you an inex
haustible story. No one has ever
been able to tell the total story. Af
rica is truly a “dark continent" and
those of us who have the light must
do what we can to lift this darkness.
My purpose in this six months leave
from Africa is to have us “rethink
missions."
“For the most part," he continued
“Africans as a brilliant people wait
ing for an opportunity. They are
ignorant not because they do not
have capacity, but because they
have not had a chance,”
