International envoy visits local church Professor Ian Hall, Ambassador for the World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (WANGO) visited the Episcopal Church of the Nativity in Fayetteville on Wednesday, Feb. 19. Hall, in Atlanta for Black History Month, joined the Rev. Bob Hudak and Nativity parishioners for dinner and conversation, followed by a service of Holy Eucharist at which he provided the music. Guyanese, educated in London, England, and the first black music graduate from the University of Oxford, Hall is the founder of the Bloomsbury International Society, which he established to continue the work of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As Ambassador of WANGO, which works in partnership with the United Nations, he is an advocate for peace, justice, and well-being for all humanity. "His lifetime association with the Anglican church, his enormous musical talent, and delight in telling and listening to stories made the evening an event," a spokesperson said. The Episcopal Church of the Nativity is at 130 Antioch Rd. in Fayetteville. It is one of 93 parishes in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta and a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
