      HONORING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF BISHOP SAMUEL EDWARD IGLEHART

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 6, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bishop Samuel 
Edward Iglehart for his unparalleled dedication to his community, 
church, and family.
  It is rare to find many people who have gone through life so humbly 
helping others. However Bishop Samuel Edward Iglehart is one of them. 
Ordained at the age of 31, Bishop Iglehart has gained a great 
familiarity with the people of his church and community. Whether it is 
a fellow officer of the church or a small child in need of assistance, 
serving humanity is always a top priority for Bishop Iglehart. This 
priority can be seen in the everyday mission of his church, the 
Childless Memorial Church of God in Christ. Future goals and milestones 
Bishop Iglehart plans to implement for the Memorial Church consist of 
providing a daycare and Christian Academy for children, a learning 
center for adults, and a Christian book store.
  Memorial Church has not been the only medium for Bishop Iglehart to 
serve the community. He is a life-time member of the NAACP and a strong 
supporter of the United Negro College Fund. For his active community 
involvement, Bishop Iglehart was inducted into the ``Who's Who Society 
of Outstanding Church Leaders'' in May of 1989.
  Besides his commitment to the community Bishop Iglehart dearly loves 
and is dedicated to his family. His wife Glorious Cosey Iglehart and 
their six children have a very special bond that can stand the test of 
time.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to be given the time to pay reverence to 
the lifetime of service of Bishop Samuel Edward Iglehart and his 
lifetime of service.
