BY JASMINE BLACKWELL There are grounds in the Hampton


Roads area that encompass a spiritual greatness that many are unaware of. These grounds were purchased by a visionary who introduced the faith of Abraham to a number of people throughout the world.


Runaway slave, stemmed William


Saunders Crowdy, was called upon by God to re-introduce a way of living that


from economics to


self-improvement, at a time when the world was filled with hate.


It was on November 8, 1896 that


Prophet William Saunders Crowdy incorporated the Church of God and Saints of Christ, “the oldest Afri- can-American

Indies, and the in the


United States that adheres to tenets of Judaism”. Its congregations span across cities in the United States, the West


continent of


Africa, but its headquarters are located in the heart of Hampton Roads.


Prophet Crowdy purchased acres


of land that became the foundation for a future of prosperity in the Hampton Roads. This land managed to thrive despite the mayhem that surrounded throughout the years.


Crowdy’s original purchase was that of 40 acres of land, but now the land encompasses approximately 500 acres that are located in North Suffolk. There is a master plan in effect that has already been approved by the city of Suffolk and is a true testament to the prosperity that is to come.


Plans included the construction


of senior living facilities, affordable single family homes, a medical center, hotel, and leases for other businesses with the purpose of bettering the surrounding communities.


“These all fall within Prophet


Crowdy's vision of developing a community dedicated to God and serving the needs of fellow man,” Rabbi Phillip McNeil said of the construction being done on the remaining acreage.


The Church of God and Saints of Christ will continue


Crowdy’s vision through by constantly contributing


to the Hampton Roads area.


This vision includes the Ancient Plan of Salvation, which is “a way of


betterment


to see of


life, grounded in the Judaic faith, that is a complete guide to relegating all aspects of one’s life to the will of God,” Rabbi McNeil said.


“Chief Rabbi Jehu A. Crowdy,


Jr., now leader of our congregation, has taken over the promulgation of the prophet's legacy by continuing to build the moral and spiritual strength of the congregation [and] community by overseeing the completion of the Master Plan for further development,” Rabbi Phillip McNeil said.


There are a number of great


efforts, to include community leaders and developers with Crowdy’s great grandson, Jehu August Crowdy, Jr., leading the way.


“It is a blessing to be in this


spiritual place echoing the vision of my great grandfather, Prophet William


Saunders Crowdy. chains It is undeniable


that he was a gift from God. Imagine how this great man broke free from the


of American


"reestablish" this Abrahamic way of life. For this, we celebrate


slavery his


to life,


his legacy and the global religious organization that is the result of his labor,” Chief Executive Rabbi Jehu A. Crowdy, Jr. said.


The truly remarkable story of a


runaway slave that was able to lay the foundation for his people through hard work and faith is one that simply cannot be forgotten.


Re-establishment Day is a time


to reflect upon the many contributions made by Crowdy, while being sure that his vision is seen through by following the Ancient Plan of Salvation, which is believed to have the ability to change the world.


The 119th Re-establishment


Day service will be held on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 11:15 a.m. Come and join the celebration at the International Headquarters,


Temple Suffolk, Virginia.


“We welcome everyone to join us in this Re-establishment Day commemoration and worship service. One can expect a warm atmosphere of fellowship, hospitality and worship as we mark the 119th Anniversary of our existence,” Rabbi Phillip McNeil said speaking of the upcoming event marked to remember Prophet William S. Crowdy, while looking to promote the further development of his work.
