                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 1994

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of 
my colleagues, the outstanding work done by a great leader in my 
congressional district, the Reverend Leroy Taylor of the New Faith 
Missionary Baptist Church. Attached is a proclamation I issued Reverend 
Taylor commending him for his work.

                              Proclamation

       Whereas the Reverend Leroy Taylor is a native of Rosedale, 
     Mississippi, migrating to Chicago as a youth to make his mark 
     on the world. Later he volunteers for military service in the 
     United States Navy, and
       Whereas Reverend Taylor matriculated at Chicago Baptist 
     Institute, and is a promoter of Education and Christian 
     Education, and
       Whereas Reverend Taylor has served as Pastor of New Faith 
     Missionary Baptist Church for 19 years, under his pastoral 
     leadership totally renovating the church and constructing a 
     new educational building in 1990, engaged in active youth 
     ministries, weekly food distributions to the hungry, and 
     prison ministry at the Cook County Jail, and
       Whereas Reverend Taylor is a family man, a loving husband 
     married to Ms. Rose Lewis, and the proud father of 10 
     children, with four sons in the ministry, two of the four 
     serving as senior pastors in the Chicago metropolitan area. 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the United States Congress wishes to 
     acknowledge the accomplishments of the Reverend Leroy Taylor.
