Summary

House Resolution 333, presented by Representative Walters, is a commendation for Reverend King John Taylor in recognition of his significant contributions to gospel music and his lifelong ministry. Reverend Taylor, who has been preaching the Gospel since 1977 and has a rich history in quartet music, is celebrated for over five decades of dedicated service.
