Allegheny East Conference
Story by LaTasha Hewitt
Prior to the pandemic, the Capitol Hill church in Washington, D.C., had planned to serve their commu- nity through “Acts of Kindness” days. The activities shifted due to COVID-19, however, and their focus changed to meet the needs of first responders.
Church members visited neighborhood fire and police stations, prayed with staff and surprised them with breakfast, inspirational books and gift cards.
Story from Washington Adventist University Communication Staff
Our Washington Adventist University community feels the immense weight of the tragic loss of our Board Trustee, Elder Henry J. Fordham, and his wife, Sharon. The loss of a great university supporter and servant leader of this magnitude motivates WAU to honor Elder Fordham and his wife for their lifetime of ministry.
With the support of the President's Cabinet and the WAU Religion Department, President Weymouth Spence announces the naming of the Henry and Sharon Fordham Department of Religion at Washington Adventist University.
Allegheny East Conference President, Henry J. Fordham, III, and his wife, Sharon Fordham, passed away in a house fire early Sunday morning.
It is with a very heavy heart that we write to inform you that Elder Henry J. Fordham, III, president of the Allegheny East Conference, and his wife Sharon passed away in a house fire overnight.
Today we lost a giant, a legend in Adventist ministry—Elder Henry Fordham III—and his dear wife, Sharon. Together, they made an indelible contribution to the work of God.
