Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to honor the life of the late Reverend Shedrick Edward Gilbert, dutiful servant of God, well respected and admired religious leader, community activist, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend. I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Whereas, Reverend Gilbert served Historic Saint Agnes
Episcopal Church in Miami, Florida, for 57 years before his
retirement in 2012 from the Deaconate and active ministry at
age 90; and
Whereas Reverend Gilbert served in various roles at St.
Agnes Episcopal Church which include, Vestryman, Treasurer
and Clerk and the Deaconate; and
Whereas, Reverend Gilbert dedicated his life to the
ministry, his church and to helping his community by
advocating for support and funding from the City of Miami
Commission for St. Agnes' Rainbow Village Community
Development Corporation, a housing development program for
Miami's Overtown community; and
Whereas Reverend Gilbert served as Director of St. Agnes'
Rainbow Village Community Development Corporation and
coordinated an eight-week Summer Program for the youth in the
Overtown area; and
Whereas, Reverend Gilbert served on several committees for
the Diocese of Southeast Florida, including the Credentials
Committee for 13 years, served as president of the Algonquin
Club and president of the Booker T. Washington Class of 1938;
and
Whereas Reverend Gilbert was presented with numerous awards
among them the Unsung Hero award from the Booker T.
Washington Alumni Association and the Man of the Year award
for outstanding community service from the King of Clubs of
Greater Miami; 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,
commend the late Reverend Shedrick Edward Gilbert for his
commitment to God and spreading God's message, for his
devotion to his family and his congregation and for his
dedication to our community.
