Dear Meachum family,
In light of the allegations brought against Dr. Vince Bantu, many of you are probably wondering whether or not the Meachum School of Haymanot’s Annual Society of Gospel Haymanot conference will be convening this year in Chicago. We, the Meachum community, have been disheartened by these allegations, yet we take them seriously. As promised, investigations are under way. Dr. Bantu has been put on leave. In his stead, Dr. Tyran T. Laws has been named as the interim president of the Meachum School of Haymanot. Dr. Laws will be leading the SGH Annual Meeting this year. This decision to proceed with the annual meeting came after a townhouse meeting with our tamahari who advocated convincingly not to cancel the conference. Many of them will be receiving certificates of completion and diplomas and felt that the cancellation of the annual conference would be anticlimactic. They felt that the allegations against Dr. Bantu should not have punitive consequences for them. Therefore, we, by the grace of God, intend to celebrate with our students and proceed with the vision of the Society of the Gospel Haymanot. We are even more committed to the theological proliferation of orthodoxy and Black flourishing as we proclaim Jesus to the nations. Please do not stop praying for the Meachum community. We are hoping to report in the coming weeks. Please register for the annual meeting in Chicago. Logistics will be given for the exact venue soon.
Blessings,
The Meachum School of Haymanot Board
