Theodore "TJ" Jemison, Alpha Phi Alpha.

Not sure of his designation but he was president of the National Baptist Convention USA, Inc. and organized the Baton Rouge Bus Boycott of 1953.

Sorry, you listed all the other prominent Greek clergy that I know.

I doubt if you know of him, he passed in 1966. His name was Dr. Jonathan Lyle Caston. He was also a PHA Mason. Trinity is off of Jefferson and Arlington (but then you probably know that.)

No, I don't. I only went to LA to visit during the summers, and to the University of Redlands for 1.5 years. However, my step-Grandmother is from Riverside originally.

Yep. I understand she said she's not looking to pastor a church at this time but to do evangelist work.

Is your pastor an Alpha? A DC pastor did my church's revival last year. (That's a shame. I can't remember his name or his church's name but I remember that he is an Alpha - :o). He told me then that he knew Gwen well and that she had spoken for the Women's Day at his church for two years.

By the way, she is not Dr. :) She is noted as the first African American woman to graduate from the Yale School of Engineering (she has a Masters.)

Eclipse 04-09-2004 12:25 AM

Pastor Fredrick Douglas Haynes of Friendship West Baptist Church is an Alpha and as he likes to say about other ministers "He can preach the horns off a billy goat!"

You go to Ebenezer?!? I loved that church with all my heart!!! I joined there when I was a student at Howard before I transfered. I have yet to find another church like that one, but I know "the best is yet to come!!!" (like Rev. Dr. Grainger used to always say) Give your neighbor a Holy Hug.

Yeah, I know. I'm a huge fan of Rev. Taylor's. His eloquence at President Clinton's first inaugural blew me away. He was later awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, also.

I collect great oratory, and have been trying to reach the church to obtain some of his sermons/speeches, so far unsuccessfully. If you can hook a bruh up, PM me.
...or make a great speech and I'll add you to my collection :p ;)

Creflo a Sigma?!?! I have never heard that. That would be funny, especially since I talk bad about him all the time...... :-)

I will have to check the resources on that one.
