in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize and honor the life of the late Reverend Dr. Mack King Carter, a man of God, a community activist and scholar. I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Whereas Reverend Carter was considered one of America's
great African American preachers and traveled across the
United States and abroad teaching God's Word; and
Whereas, Reverend Carter was senior pastor of New Mount
Olive Baptist Church in Fort Lauderdale for 27 years, and
under his leadership the congregation grew from about 2,800
to more than 10,000 members; and
Whereas Reverend Carter gave his life to Christ at the age
of five and became the pastor of a church at the age of 19;
and
Whereas Reverend Carter mentored numerous pastors across
the country and was a well-respected biblical scholar admired
for his use of current events in his sermons often delivered
with the tradition tone of African American preaching; and
Whereas, Reverend Carter, a native of Ocala, Florida,
received an Associate of Arts degree in 1967 from Central
Florida Community College, a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1970
from the University of Florida, a Master of Divinity degree
in 1976 from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a
Doctor of Ministry degree in 1978 from Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida,
honor the late Reverend Dr. Mack King Carter for his
dedication and unwavering commitment to spreading God's
message, his commitment to his family and friends and our
community.
