A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

RECOGNIZING THE REVEREND DR. S.C. CURETON OF GREENVILLE COUNTY ON HIS CANDIDACY FOR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION, U.S.A., INC., AND CONGRATULATING HIM ON THE TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS PASTORATE OF REEDY RIVER BAPTIST CHURCH IN GREENVILLE COUNTY.

Whereas, the Reverend Dr. S.C. Cureton of Greenville County is a candidate for next president of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc.; and

Whereas, this is an extremely high honor and demanding job, and will be decided in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1994; and

Whereas, Dr. Cureton is a native of Greenville County, and he received his A.B. degree from Benedict College and his B.D. degree from J.J. Starks School of Theology; and

Whereas, he did further studies at South Carolina State College, Clafflin College, North Carolina Central, and Clemson University; and

Whereas, in 1982 and 1983 the Doctor of Divinity degree was bestowed upon him by Morris College and Benedict College for outstanding services as an educator, churchman, religious leader, friend to humanity, and service to the colleges; and

Whereas, it has been said of him -- and truly so -- that he has dedicated his life to the helping of all human-kind, especially children by serving as a teacher in the public school sector for twenty-six years and as a pastor and builder of churches since 1954; and

Whereas, he built a multipurpose building, including a gymnasium with a life center, and on Sunday, March 28, 1993, he is celebrating his twenty-eighth anniversary as pastor of Reedy River Baptist Church on Mauldin Road in Greenville County; and

Whereas, Dr. Cureton is an outstanding individual in every way and a genuine role model for countless persons, and we know that he would make a superb president of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, proudly recognizes the Reverend Dr. S.C. Cureton of Greenville County on his candidacy for next president of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc., and congratulates him on the twenty-eighth anniversary of his pastorate of Reedy River Baptist Church in Greenville County.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Dr. Cureton.
