HATS OFF TO DR. DOROTHY JACKSON YOUNG—Marsha Washington making a presentation to Dr. Dorothy Jackson Young.
“Dorothy Jackson Young this is your life.” As Marsha Washington made the presentation to Young, she said the classic television show “This is your Life” had nothing on us. Tonight on Station 914 on 2015 of the AME Network we celebrate Dorothy.
On Sept. 14, at the Doubletree Hotel in Monroeville, the Women’s Missionary Society of the Pittsburgh Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church celebrated Young—the mother, wife, missionary, supervisor and “just Dorothy.” Young has served the AME Church faithfully and creatively through the Women’s Missionary Society (WMS).
She has served as a local president, area chair, conference branch president and episcopal district president. She is the supportive wife of McKinley Young, the 109th bishop in the history of African Methodism. Guests enjoyed a musical selection by Rev. Karen Arrington of Living Waters Ministry and a video presentation that celebrated Dorothy, the mother and nurse, which included loving remarks from her husband.
The evening, which was a surprise for Young, was presented by the Pittsburgh Conference WMS. St. James AME Church served as the host church. The Pittsburgh Conference is comprised of two districts—Allegheny-Scranton and Pittsburgh.
