Welcome to the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference, Inc. 
2025 Clergy and Lay Leadership Conference Registration! 

Our 2025 theme is
“There is No End to Our Rising: Restoring Our Glory in the Age of Erasure”

We are at a perilous time where the presumption of democracy in America, and indeed, the world is at stake.  For many, the claim to “justice for all” is not a given, and efforts to foster greater equity and support the diversity of America are being thwarted or reversed. We only need to examine Project 2025 to get a sense of the growing divide in this nation. The process of experiential, educational and cultural erasure is of special significance for people of African descent in the United States. Considering all the challenges confronting this nation at this point in time, we thought it most fitting to descend upon Little Rock, Arkansas, and be reminded of the transformative history of the area represented by the Central High School Little Rock Nine and the 1919 Elaine Arkansas massacre.

Once and again, our programs and workshops speak to these times to offer the framing and tools for emerging and seasoned faith leaders to navigate the issues of this present moment. We are engaged in reconstituting a Nation where justice is truly for all! We are stronger with a unified agenda, especially peer-to-peer engagement and exchange.

YOUR presence at our 21st Annual Clergy and Lay Leaders Conference matters!

Join us in Little Rock, Arkansas!
