Whereas, the Bible Way Church World Wide has more than two hundred fifty churches in the continental United States. It also has congregations in the United Kingdom, India, Canada, Jamaica, Trinidad, and the continents of Africa and South America; and

Whereas, the goal of Bible Way is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world, and minister to the whole man with a message of helping all men and women physically, mentally, and spiritually; and

Whereas, it has come to the attention of the members of the Senate that the church will hold its 2005 International Convocation in the City of Columbia in July; and

Whereas, the hosts for this meeting are the South Carolina Diocese and Bishop Theodore R. Myers, Bishop for the State of South Carolina and his wife, First Lady Nan Myers. The Diocese Bishop Emeritus is Bishop Andrew C. Jackson; and
