                  TRIBUTE TO REV. WILLIAM T. BROADOUS

                                 ______


                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 21, 1994

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to Rev. William 
T. Broadous, one of the giants in the Christian ministry in southern 
California. For years, Rev. Broadous has been the pastor of Calvary 
Baptist Church in San Fernando, which has a congregation of over 3,000 
members. He is a revered and respected member of the community, both 
for his utter devotion to God and his commitment to bettering the lives 
of others.
  In addition to Rev. Broadous' regular duties at Calvary Baptist, for 
the past 4 years he has served as moderator of the Central District 
Association of the Western Baptist Convention of Churches. This post 
gave Rev. Broadous greater responsibility and greater visibility: The 
Central District Association represents approximately 20 churches in 
Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
  Rev. Broadous assumed his new role with characteristic vigor and 
vision. He was influential in bringing new pastors into the district 
and restored a sense of commitment and movement to the various 
auxiliaries and departments. He also instituted several new programs, 
including an annual retreat for district and church leaders and a 
direct prayer ministry. The next moderator will be hard-pressed to 
equal the accomplishments of Rev. Broadous.
  I am honored to pay tribute to Rev. William T. Broadous, a man of 
dignity and compassion who truly loves his community and is beloved in 
return. His life and career are an inspiration to us all.
