Whereas, pastors and church ministers in Clarendon County have formed the Clarendon County Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance; and

Whereas, the establishment of the Alliance has been under the guidance of the newly-elected president of this organization, Reverend J. R.

Windley has been chosen to serve as the Alliance's treasurer, Reverend Darrell Bordeaux has been named secretary, and Reverend Mitchell Adger has been elected assistant secretary; and

Whereas, the Alliance's dedicated and devoted pastors and ministers have decided to join hands to make a difference in the community and a difference in the State of South Carolina, and they are setting an example which should be followed everywhere; and

Whereas, we are indeed pleased to have this opportunity to recognize such an outstanding effort, as well as the individuals who have put it together and are making it work. Now, therefore,
