                           THE GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. WEBB. Mr. President, I rise today to speak about today's guest 
Chaplain, the Reverend Dr. Jeffrey Carter of Manassas Church of the 
Brethren, located in Manassas, VA. I am pleased to welcome Dr. Carter, 
his wife Kim, and their three young daughters--Anna, Grace, and Julie--
to the U.S. Senate today.
  Dr. Carter is a 1992 graduate of Bridgewater College, located in 
Bridgewater, VA. He received his Master of Divinity from Bethany 
Theological Seminary in 1998, and his Doctor of Ministry from Princeton 
Theological Seminary in 2006. In 2003, at the age of 33, he was 
appointed senior pastor of Manassas Church of the Brethren. Since 2005, 
he has also served as lead chaplain for the Prince William County, VA, 
Fire and Rescue Squad. In addition to his duties with his home church, 
Dr. Carter also serves as the Church of the Brethren's representative 
to the World Council of Churches, and is a member of the board of 
directors for the Brethren Housing Corporation.
  Manassas Church of the Brethren was established in 1895, and has 
served the greater Manassas community for the past 116 years. They 
offer a wide variety of fellowship opportunities and outreach 
ministries to their large congregation and residents of the Manassas 
community.
  Through the dozens of missions and ministries at Manassas Church of 
the Brethren, Dr. Carter has made a profound impact on the lives of 
many members of my constituency. I am certain that he will continue to 
guide his congregation for many years to come, and I look forward to 
seeing the direction of Manassas Church of the Brethren under his 
leadership.
