    I had to stop and pause...I know all about the power of this man,ive had the honor of being in his presence several times when he came to maryland. The now named Bethel Temple Highway Church of Christ (presided over by the late Bishop Robert Evans Jr.)knew very well of Bishop Moales&the Bridgeport family--we would REJOICE when we knew thet were coming and blow the top off the church when they got there,lol. My deepest sympathies for a great man of God&to his wonderful congregation...
