  Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a 
compassionate spiritual and community leader from the Fourth 
Congressional District, Bishop Sedgwick Daniels. Bishop Daniels is the 
pastor and spiritual leader of Holy Redeemer Institutional Church of 
God in Christ. His involvement in the well-being of this community, 
whether it is his church ministry or providing critical services, has 
been a lifelong pursuit. Bishop Daniels is a recognized leader at the 
national, regional and local level for his work.
  Bishop Daniels has been recently honored with his election and 
elevation to the General Board for the International Church of God in 
Christ. The General Board oversees both the temporal and spiritual 
affairs of the church in the United States and in more than 50 
countries. The 12-member General Board of Bishops is elected to this 
board from the Church of God in Christ's International Board of 
Bishops.
  Bishop Daniels is the jurisdictional Bishop for the historic 
Wisconsin 1st Jurisdiction, where he oversees more than 90 
congregations and includes all of Wisconsin and northern Illinois. In 
addition to his duties as jurisdictional Bishop, he oversees an array 
of resources and services to assist the community as leader of the Holy 
Redeemer Institutional Church including: a credit union, youth programs 
through the Daniels-Mardak Boys and Girls Club, educational programs 
and plans for the development of Bishop Creek Initiative.
  Madam Speaker, for these reasons, I am honored to pay tribute to 
Bishop Sedgwick Daniels' contributions to the Fourth Congressional 
District.
