The "One in the Spirit" Banquet was established several years ago by the Presiding Bishop, Othal Hawthorne Lakey. Its purpose is to raise funds for an endowment to support the Episcopal District programs of education and church expansion and improvement. It is held in conjunction with the Annual Spring Convocation of the Sixth Episcopal District which brings together several hundred ministers and lay members of the C.M.E. Church from across the state of Georgia for two days of worship, Christian nurture, program planning, and fellowship. The Sixth Episcopal District is one of ten geographical divisions of the C.M.E. Church consisting of four regions covering the entire state of Georgia.
