                        Wednesday, May 11, 2022

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Bishop Juan L. Morrison.
  From a young age, Bishop Morrison was taught to love and serve 
others. As the son of a pastor, the values of being humble, pious, and 
charitable were instilled within him, forming a man devoted to his 
faith and community.
  Academically, Bishop Morrison was driven. He received a master's 
degrees in Education Administration, Counseling, and Psychology, as 
well as a Doctorate in Philosophy. Bishop Morrison then spent thirty-
five years in Springfield teaching both in the public school system and 
at Lincoln Land Community College.

  Not only did Bishop Morrison have an influence in the classroom but 
also on his faith and community. For thirty-six years, he served as the 
Pastor and Founder of Emmanuel Temple Church of God in Christ, as well 
as its superintendent, and the first Administrative Assistant.
  Bishop Morrison lived a life that we all strive for. He loved his 
faith, his family, and his community. His impact and devotion to his 
faith has surely inspired many and will always be missed. My family and 
I send our thoughts and prayers to his wife, Clementine, to their 
children, Juan, Daryl, and Cheryl, and many grandchildren, great-
grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. May Bishop Morrison rest in 
peace.
