A little more than two weeks ago, Barack Obama was elected President-Elect of the United States of America.  We will see the first African-American presidency of the U.S. over the next 4 years.

We are living in times historians will note for generations. 

We caught up with Bishop Lyght yesterday to find out what it was like to share Election Night with his colleagues on the Council of Bishops, who were meeting in Georgia at the time.

Listen to what he had to say here.
