  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of

spiritual enrichment of his congregation, but also to the overall 
enrichment and improvement of the East Cleveland community.
  Bishop Terry continues to demonstrate his commitment and dedication 
to his faith, and to the individuals and families he serves. He is the 
reason why his church, the Community Temple Church of God in Christ, is 
an ongoing source of comfort and inspiration for its members. Moreover, 
Bishop Terry provides a light of hope and beacon of possibility for the 
entire East Cleveland neighborhood.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honor and recognition of Bishop 
Beuford J. Terry, on the momentous occasion of his consecration to the 
office of Jurisdictional Bishop of the Ohio Northeast Ecclesiastical 
Jurisdiction. Bishop Terry's life-long dedication to helping others, as
