                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 8, 2011

  Ms. FUDGE. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the citizens of the Eleventh 
Congressional District of Ohio, I rise today to recognize a religious 
leader, constituent, and friend in my District. At the beginning of 
January 2012, Reverend Dr. Marvin Andrew McMickle will assume his new 
full-time role of President at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity 
School. For the past 24 years, Dr. McMickle has been the Pastor of 
Antioch Baptist Church, leading his flock and many others to join him 
in the fight for social, racial, and economic justice. Dr. McMickle's 
travels to Israel, Greece, Austria, Senegal and the West Indies are 
testaments of this effort to uphold his teachings of justice. His 
leadership in Northeast Ohio is unmatched. He served on numerous boards 
and led organizations, including President of the Cleveland NAACP 
between 1989 and 1992.
  Dr. McMickle's many accomplishments can be attributed to his 
educational credentials. Over the years, Dr. McMickle has obtained 
several post-secondary degrees, two of which are Doctorates from 
Princeton Theological Seminary and Case Western Reserve University. He 
used his many years of education to perpetuate the transfer of biblical 
knowledge and insight to instruct a Homiletics course at Ashland 
Theological Seminary in Ohio. In addition to academic leadership, Dr. 
McMickle has written numerous books, articles and sermons to serve as 
tools and guidelines for others to develop their ministries.
  Congratulations to Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School for 
selecting such an exceptional man, husband, father and leader as their 
new President. Dr. McMickle will be deeply missed in my district, but I 
know his work at Colgate will continue to change the world.
