to North Alabama and currently serves as the Minister of Church and 
Community with the Faith Presbyterian Church. He also serves as the 
Executive Minister of the Huntsville Association for Pastoral Care and 
Program Director of the Huntsville area chapter of the National

  Reverend Broyles has also vigorously given his time to the community. 
He was the first Administrative Director of Hospice of Huntsville and

University of Alabama in Huntsville for fifteen years. Reverend Broyles 
has also volunteered his leadership to numerous community 
organizations.
  Additionally, Reverend Broyles is known for his strong commitment to 
worldwide and interfaith understanding. His service in interagency, 
worldwide, and interfaith work has earned him close to thirty awards.
  Mr. Speaker, Frank's ability to bring people together and provide a 
positive influence on the entire community is something that we all 
should strive to do. On behalf of the people of North Alabama, I would 
like to congratulate Frank Broyles for being named the 2004 Arthritis 
Foundation Humanitarian Award winner.
