  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Rev. Dr. James S. 
Bullock, the distinguished Pastor and Spiritual leader of Holy Sacred 
Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York.
  Dr. Bullock, the former Pastor of Mars Hill Baptist Church of Coney 
Island, New York, was called to Holy Sacred Baptist Church in August of 
1999 and was installed on December 19, 1999 by The Metropolitan 
Interdenominational Ministers Conference, The Eastern Baptist 
Association, The Pastors and Churches Union and the Holy Sacred Baptist 
Church family. Presiding over the installation ceremonies was the Rev. 
Dr. B.T. McCollum, Vice-Moderator of the Eastern Baptist Association, 
the Moderator D.H. Dovore Chapman, Co-President.
  The installation service was heralded by countless community leaders, 
including officials of the African American Clergy and Elected 
Officials of Brooklyn, the Rev. Joe L. Parker, President and many other 
clergymen and women along with school officials, teachers, and officers 
of the various PTA groups.
  Rev. Dr. James S. Bullock is a community minded clergyman. He 
participates in many community-based organizations. He is involved with 
the following organizations: Secretary of the Association of Brooklyn 
Clergy for Community Development, Secretary of the African American 
Clergy and Elected Officials of Brooklyn, Vice President of The 
Metropolitan Interdenominational Ministers Conference, Parent Body 
Member Eastern Baptist Association, President of the North Bay Tenant 
Association of Coney Island, and President of The Men and Women's 
Interdenominational Ministers Conference of Brooklyn, New York.
  Rev. Dr. Bullock is a man of vision. He is a multi-talented person 
who is considered an excellent Preacher and Teacher, a builder of ideas 
and developer of community motivation, and a master decision maker. He 
is steadfast in his beliefs and a loyal supporter of the missions of 
the organizations to which he belongs. He consistently endorses the 
politics of community empowerment and the practical projects which 
bring the benefits of empowerment to the poor.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to salute Rev. Dr. James S. Bullock as a 
distinguished ``Point of Light'' for all Americans.
