Bishop Williams makes a public health announcement addressing H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu)
The call went out expressing an urgent need to share information with the public about ways to reduce the spread of the H1N1 virus. Bishop Williams responded and carved out some time from his already hectic conference schedule. During the 99th Session of the Palmetto Annual Conference the Bishop recorded a podcast (video) hoping to reach the majority of members of the 7th Episcopal District whom he shepherds.
