                    A TRIBUTE TO REVEREND HENRY CADE

                                 ______


                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 6, 1996

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of my 
colleagues a special anniversary. Tomorrow, the Central Presbyterian 
Church of Newark, NJ will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of its 
pastor, the Reverend Henry Cade. Although Rev. Cade first came to 
Central Presbyterian Church in 1965, this recognition had to be 
postponed because of a devastating fire that heavily damaged the church 
in 1995. But like anything worth doing, the time is not important as 
long as the thought is true.
  Over the years Newark's Central Presbyterian Church has recognized 
the need for the church to become more than a site for worship. The 
Central Presbyterian Church has opened its doors to programs and 
services that truly help the community and its residents. The church 
sponsors programs like SHARE, a food program; preschool-head start 
programs, senior citizen programs; young adult ministries, homeless 
ministries, as well as others.
  It takes a certain kind of leadership to make things happen. For the 
Central Presbyterian Church that leadership has come from Reverend 
Henry Cade for 30 years. Rev. Cade is a native of Selma, AL. He 
accepted the call as minister of the Central Presbyterian Church in 
1965, having served as pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church 
of Athens, TN for 5 years. Rev. Cade has been educated at the Knoxville 
College, the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, graduate study in urban 
issues at Rutgers University and the Jewish Theological Seminary in New 
York. His formal educational experiences have been enriched with travel 
experiences he gained while traveling to Jordan, Israel, Egypt, and 
Greece.
  Rev. Cade understands the importance and benefits of serving the 
larger community. He has served the Police Accountability Program under 
the auspices of the Metropolitan Ecumenical Ministry, the NAACP, the 
United Community Corporation, Essex County PUSH, Essex County Jail as 
chaplain, the New Well Drug Rehabilitation Center, the Martin Luther 
King, Jr. Community Center, the Synod of the Northeast, the South Park 
Calvary Administrative Commission, and the Newark Presbytery in many 
capacities.
  Presently he is the moderator of the Session of Roseville 
Presbyterian Church, a member of the Personal Committee and the 
Permanent Judicial Commission of Newark Presbytery, a member of the 
Newark and Essex Committee of Black Churchmen, and the chairman of the 
Newark and Vicinity Chapter of Black Presbyterians United.

  Mr. Speaker, I am sure my colleagues will want to join me as I extend 
my congratulations and best wishes to Rev. Henry Cade, his family, and 
his congregation.
