                WELCOMING REVEREND DR. DANIEL CUBE GUNN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from New 
Jersey (Mr. Lance) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce the Reverend Dr. 
Daniel Cube Gunn, who has so eloquently opened our session in the daily 
prayer. Father Gunn joins us in the House Chamber from St. Andrew's 
Episcopal Church and School in New Providence, New Jersey, a beautiful 
community in the district I have the honor of serving.
  Father Gunn's professional ministry, education, and service to his 
and my faith of Christianity has spanned several States and 
experiences. He graduated from Lee College, earned his master's degree 
in divinity at the Church of God Theological Seminary and a master's 
degree in philosophy at West Chester University in Pennsylvania. Father 
Gunn later completed a master's degree of sacred theology in

Anglican theology and ethics at Yale University's Divinity School.
  Father Gunn heard the call of ministry at a young age. During service 
in Tennessee, he served the Department of Corrections, bringing hope 
and wisdom to those incarcerated. He then brought his ministry to St. 
Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, completing a clinical 
residency where he brought comfort to patients and their families.
  Father Gunn was ordained to the deaconate and priesthood in 2002, and 
his assignments brought him to Bronxville, New York; Wilkes-Barre, 
Pennsylvania; Clarksboro, New Jersey; and Ridgewood, New Jersey. Father 
Gunn was then named priest-in-charge and superintendent of St. Andrew's 
in New Providence, New Jersey.
  I thank him for his stewardship at St. Andrew's. Its mission 
statement gives the church the welcoming moniker of ``a big heart, 
making God's love known to the world.''
  I thank Father Gunn for being here and for offering our daily prayer.
