Recognizing Grace Cathedral Church in Houston on the occasion of its 30th anniversary.
The resolution serves to commend Grace Cathedral Church for its longstanding commitment to the community. It emphasizes the contributions made by its leadership, beginning with the Reverend Lewis Terry Jr., to the church's mission and the continuity of these efforts under the current pastor, Reverend Charles H. Taylor Sr. One notable initiative mentioned in the resolution is the G. C. Community Development Corporation, which, established under Pastor Taylor's leadership, focuses on providing affordable housing for seniors.
Senate Resolution 723 recognizes Grace Cathedral Church in Houston on the occasion of its 30th anniversary, which is celebrated on June 28, 2015. The resolution acknowledges the church's founding in 1985 by several community leaders including Mildred Woodard and the Brooks family. It highlights the church's vital role in the local community, providing a space for spiritual growth, fellowship, and outreach programs over the past three decades.
While SR723 is largely ceremonial and does not propose any changes to existing state law, it serves as a testament to the importance of community institutions. The resolution reflects a sense of gratitude from the state legislature toward organizations that play a significant role in local development and community support, thus reinforcing the value placed on such entities within Texas.
