      RECOGNIZING BISHOP CLARENCE AND PROPHETESS DR. JOYCE HADDON

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 17, 2023

  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize Bishop Clarence 
Haddon and Dr. Joyce Haddon for their nearly five decades of service to 
the community at High Praise Cathedral in Detroit and Inkster, 
Michigan.
  Bishop Haddon grew up in a family steeped in an appreciation for a 
strong foundation in faith. Following in his father's footsteps, Bishop 
Haddon pursued a career in ministry and took over the pastorship at 
Church of God in Unity, which would eventually become High Praise 
Cathedral. As the congregation grew, the High Praise family made their 
home at its current address in Detroit and eventually opened a sister 
location in Inkster.
  Bishop and Dr. Haddon, drawn together by their faith and passion for 
serving others, have been united in ministering to the family in faith 
at High Praise and the surrounding communities. They have created 
numerous programs, including the Bread Basket Program, a back to school 
program to ensure students are prepared to start the school year with a 
fresh haircut and the supplies they need to succeed, as well as youth 
summer camps.
  Please join me in tribute to Bishop Clarence and Dr. Joyce Haddon in 
celebration of their forty-nine years in spiritual service to High 
Praise Cathedral, as we wish them well in their retirement.
