“I stand here in the well of the Congress of the United States to pay distinct honor and tribute to one of Miami's young great leaders, Bishop Victor T. Curry. Victor T. Curry is now pastor of a New Birth Baptist Church in Miami. I want to evoke the same sentiments of joy and gratitude that the 10,000 members of the New Birth Baptist Church in Miami lifted up to Almighty God this past weekend at the inauguration of the New Birth Cathedral. Mr. Speaker, Bishop Curry truly represents the best and noblest of our community. As a bishop, pastor, and teacher, he exudes a remarkable wisdom in leading his congregation in the ways of God, and has tirelessly worked to enlighten our community on the agenda of spiritual wisdom and good governance impacting our duties and responsibilities. It is indeed fitting for those of us who subscribe to the Judeo-Christian faith to acknowledge the important role that Bishop Victor Curry plays in the day-to-day affairs of our community. I want to commend his tremendous work in guiding not only the members of his church, but also the residents of our entire community. He has exemplified the example of Christ as the Good Shepherd and has led his flock of believers by sharing with them the words of God's wisdom and the good news emanating from the gospel. Bishop Curry's motto is from vision to victory. This motto has positively impacted the lives of countless people.”
