  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a leader in the 
community who is celebrating a tremendous anniversary at Unity Baptist 
Tabernacle Church in Mount Vernon.
  Reverend Edward Mulraine, Unity Baptist Tabernacle's Pastor, is 
celebrating his 15th Anniversary leading the congregation on October 
19. The church has seen great growth in membership and the formation of 
various ministries since his installation. The biggest achievement has 
been the elimination of a 300,000 dollars debt in less than one year.
  Beyond his duties at Unity Baptist Tabernacle, Reverend Mulraine has 
taught Homiletics at New York Theological Seminary from which he 
graduated with a Masters of Divinity. He also lectures on African 
American Religions and The Political Philosophy of Martin Luther King, 
Jr. at Manhattanville College. Edward Mulraine is also a graduate of 
Union Theological Seminary in New York with a Masters in Sacred 
Theology.
  Reverend Mulraine is also the former President of the Williamsbridge 
Branch of the NAACP and Vice-President of the New York State Conference 
of NAACP Branches where he was instrumental in creating the National 
NAACP Get Out the Vote Plan for 2000 and 2004. He is married to 
Minister Monifa Mulraine; they have three children, Shandira, Adia and 
Malachi.
  Reverend Mulraine has accomplished a great deal for the community 
over the past 15 years. Congratulations to my friend on reaching this 
wonderful milestone.
