Abstract

Singing in the Holy Convocation of The United Holy Church of America William C. Turner, Jr. The law of the Old Testament (Lev 23:4-8) designates Holy Convocation as the Feast of the Lord. To Bishop Henry L. Fisher, the most prominent early leader of the United Holy Church, the "ingathering of convocation [is] a repeat of the return of God's scattered people who came from the East, the West, the North, and the South to Zion."
