                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 30, 1996

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to take this 
opportunity to recognize and congratulate the accomplishments of Bishop 
David C. Wallace. A graduate of the City University of New York, where 
he majored in social sciences, Bishop Wallace has a longstanding 
commitment to the ministry and the Brooklyn community.
  Upon his return from college, Bishop Wallace continued theological 
studies at the New York School of the Bible. While completing his 
apprenticeship under the late Bishop F.D. Washington, Pastor Wallace 
would serve as special assistant to the music department of eastern New 
York, chairman of the Ordination Council, president of the State Youth 
Department of the Church of God in Christ Fourth Ecclesiastical 
Jurisdiction of eastern New York, and senior Pastor of the Agape 
Christian Fellowship Family Worship Center.
  Bishop Wallace's community involvement and civic contributions 
demonstrate that he is a man of great vision and excellence. Bishop 
Wallace is indeed a leader for this time, and the 21st century.
  Mr. Speaker, I join in the celebration with the friends and family 
members of Bishop Wallace as they anticipate with great excitement the 
continued efforts and contributions of Bishop Wallace to the Brooklyn 
community.
