Story by Michelle Greene
After more than 20 years of serving at the headquarters of the Columbia Union Conference in Columbia, Md., Harold and Christine Greene are retiring March 1.
Prior to working at the Columbia Union, Harold worked as an educator for 19 years—many of those years as principal and science and math teacher at Pennsylvania Conference’s Huntington Valley Christian Academy (formerly Greater Philadelphia Junior Academy). Christine also served there, as the coordinator for the Christian Playcare Center.
Their passion for education created the opportunity to work at the union.
Douglas Morgan and Emory Tolbert wrote this article, published in the February 2007 Columbia Union Visitor.
When Adventism took root in Washington, D.C., in the late 1800s, the capital city had the largest concentration of blacks of any American city. Howard University, outstanding public high schools, and federal government jobs made Washington a place of opportunity and high achievement for black Americans.
The first sizable group of black Adventist believers, in what would become Columbia Union territory, worked and worshiped in full fellowship with white believers in the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Washington, D.C.
This week, Dawn Thompson started working at the Columbia Union Conference headquarters in Columbia, Md.
Columbia Union Conference Executive Committee members voted to celebrate January 1, 2022, as a day of praise and prayer across the union.
