                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 4, 2017

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of 
Reverend Richard Kevin Barnard, who passed on March 18, 2017. Reverend 
Barnard has served as a minister in the Reformed Episcopal Church since 
July of 1989. Prior to that, he served 18 years at The Chapel of the 
Cross in Dallas, Texas and most recently at Christ Church Angelican Ft. 
Worth.
   Before coming to The Chapel, Reverend Barnard was Director of 
Communications for the International Bible Society, which was then 
located in East Brunswick, New Jersey. In that capacity he was a 
regular participant in the monthly White House Forum for Religious 
Organizations during the Reagan Administration and represented the 
Bible Society at public and private events, traveling to Central 
America, Europe, Africa and Asia.
   At my invitation on July 26, 2006, Reverend Barnard served as 
Chaplin of the Day for the United States House of Representatives.
   Reverend Barnard's gracious presence and true dedication to the work 
and word of Christ has been an instrumental part of my life. He 
encouraged his congregation to remain faithful to pursuing our walk 
with Christ daily.
