Banks, looks forward with anticipa tion, pride and gratitude as one of Ebony magazine 's 100 most influential African American leaders in America will grace the church on 145 Campbell Road in Mocksvilie. Bishop is the senior bishop of the African Methodist Episco pal Zion Church and presiding bishop of the Piedmont Episco pal District. The AME Zion Church has congregations all over the world and boasts a membership of more than 2 million. One of his many degrees is from Livingstone College. Bishop earned a doctorate of divinity degree and serves as chair of the board of trustees at Livingstone. "However, education does not totally make a m^; life and its experiences shape a man into his true form," said St John member Julius Suiter. 'Though his beginnings stem from Pitts burgh, Pa., Bishop's path has led him far into the world and eventually to our neck of the global woods. Bishop's experiences have taken him to the far lands of Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Maryland and finally to the southern half of the United States. In May of 1980, Bishop was elected the 78th bishop in the line of succession in the church. He serves the district which includes the Western North Carolina, Westem Central North Carolina, Blue Ridge area, and Jamaica confer ences, all divisions. Through all of his travels, his wife, Marlene Y. Adams, and son, Jason Ryan Bishop, and daughter, Dana Elizabeth Bishop, have shared in his life's work to spread the Word and joy of God. "It is an especially auspicious occasion for our readers and other parishioners to share in this local church s honor to host a great leader in the Christian faith. Suiter said. Many local and state dignitaries will help celebrate this oc casion, and everyone in the community is invited. Dinner will be served in the fellowship hall following the service. "Do not miss this chance to meet this great black leader of our time, a man often compared with Martin Luther King, Fredrick Douglas, and other great leaders who have inspired us to look beyond ourselves and into the community of human kind," Suiter said.
