                      Wednesday, November 17, 2021

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
remarkable life of Bishop Dr. Macy Carr who passed away on November 5, 
2021.
  Macy Carr was born in Anniston, Alabama, on May 14, 1942 to Joseph 
and Mattie Carr. He was the second of eight children. He graduated from 
Cobb High School in 1962. He attended Alabama State University prior to 
enlisting in the United States Army in 1963. His military decorations 
include the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal 
with one device, the Overseas Bar, the Army good conduct medal and 
qualified as a sharpshooter twice on the M-16 and M-14 rifles.
  After serving in the Army, Carr returned home and devoted his life to 
Christ. He began as a member of Miracle Revival Temple (MRT) under the 
leadership of Pastor Ruby K. Blackwell and Elder Paul Blackwell, Sr. He 
became head Deacon and a member of the evangelistic team.
  Not only did Bishop Carr find the Lord and a church home at MRT, but 
he also found his wife, Sister Lana T. Carr.
  He united with the Back to the Bible Ministry under Bishop Raymond 
Moss, Sr. It all began in the basement of Carr's house. His family made 
the weekly trek to Marietta, Georgia, for seven years. This established 
the Alabama Back to the Bible Miracle Revival Fellowship Church in 
September of 1987.
  In 2010, The Alabama Back to the Bible Church entered the family of 
Full Gospel Holy Temple Church Inc. under the late Apostle Lobias 
Murray and the late Evangelist Dr. Shirley Murray. Bishop Carr was 
blessed to see his son and daughter-in-law, Elder Christopher D. Carr, 
Sr. and Lady LaShunda S. Carr elevated to Pastor and First Lady of 
Anniston Full Gospel Holy Temple Church Inc. just before his 
transition.
  He was blessed with four wonderful children, 16 grandchildren, four 
great-grandchildren and one on the way.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in remembering Bishop Carr and his life 
of service.
