The Brotherhood of St. Moses the Black is a pan-Orthodox, non-profit organization. Its mission is to minister to Americans the gift of Orthodoxy. In an effort to be good stewards of the manifold grace of God, the organization presents its annual conference that targets those who have little exposure to Orthodoxy as well as the Church’s African roots.
