Bishop Lyght coming in March

Written by

For a number of years, St. Andrew By-The-Sea has had the dream of bringing retired UMC Bishop Ernest S. Lyght to Hilton Head. It is an honor to announce he will be joining Rev. Neil Yongue at the Hilton Head Campus on March 24, and preaching at both the 9:00 & 11:15 services.

Bishop Lyght has been an outspoken advocate for cross-racial experiences and has had a unifying presence in all settings. He is co-author of Many Faces, One Church; Our Father; and Confessions of Three Ebony Bishops, all published by Abingdon Press.

He is well-known for his tireless efforts on behalf of Africa University in Zimbabwe, and is the former Chair of the Africa University Board and Advisory Development Committees and has provided leadership to the university’s friend and fundraising efforts.

In addition to pastoral appointments in local churches and as a district superintendent in New Jersey, he was elected as bishop in 1996 and assigned first to the New York Area and then to the West Virginia Area until his retirement in 2011.He has served on a variety of boards and agencies including the General Board of Church and Society (1984-1992) and the General Board of Global Ministries as well as being elected as a delegate to Jurisdictional and General Conferences and president of the United Methodist Men’s Commission.

Ernest and his wife, Eleanor, live in Delanco, New Jersey.
