HONORING PASTOR B.R. DANIELS
(Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Pastor B.R. Daniels as
he celebrates 45 years of service at Beth Eden Missionary Baptist
Church in Fort Worth, Texas, on February 18.
From an early age, it was his love for the Word of God that led him
to pursue a degree in religious studies at the Southern Bible Institute
in Dallas. In addition, Pastor Daniels graduated with a master's degree
and a Ph.D. in Christian education from Aspen Theological Seminary in
Denver, Colorado.
Installed as the pastor of Beth Eden in 1972, his leadership has
helped raise the church's profile and membership to nearly 1,000
members. It is due to Pastor Daniels' dynamic leadership that a $3.2
million building program was completed and celebrated in 2016.
A pillar of the community, Pastor Daniels continues to be an active
member of the community by leading the region as moderator of the
Northwestern District Baptist Association while also holding various
civic leadership positions around the city of Fort Worth and Tarrant
County.
Mr. Speaker, I am honored to celebrate his 45th pastoral anniversary
and his years of spiritual leadership to our community.
