  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today, the 12th Congressional District honors 
the remarkable life and legacy of Bishop Earl Jerome Wright, Jr., PhD. 
A faithful servant, devoted pastor, and beloved leader in the Church Of 
God In Christ, Bishop Wright has left behind a legacy rooted in 
ministry, scholarship, and love.
  Bishop Wright served with distinction as the Prelate of the Turks and 
Caicos Islands Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and as pastor of Loving 
Restoration Ministries and Greater Miller Memorial Church Of God In 
Christ. His ministry was grounded in compassion, community, and 
unwavering dedication to God's people. As the son of the late Bishop 
Earl J. Wright, Sr., and Mother Geraldine Marvell Miller Wright, and 
the grandson of the late Bishop U.E. Miller, a foundational leader of 
the Church and architect of the historic Mason Temple in Memphis, 
Tennessee, he continued a rich legacy of faith and service.
  Our prayers and heartfelt condolences are with his beloved wife Lady 
Elaine P. Wright, PhD, sons Earl Jerome Wright, III and Edmund Wright, 
and the entire Wright family. May his memory be a blessing, and may we 
carry forward the light he so faithfully shared with the world.
