HOMAGE PAID TO REV. DR. C.A.W. CLARK: Fellow Bishop College graduates paid their respects to deceased former graduate.
“Rev. Clark was a giant among preachers and I always looked forward to his visits to Bishop College for the Minister’s Institute,” said Washington, a 1956 graduate of Bishop College and former school board member in Mansfield, Texas.
Rev. Dr. C.A.W Clark was born in Shreveport, Louisiana and attended the public schools in his native state. He was converted to Christianity in 1928 at age 14. Pastor Clark began preaching in April 1929, and was ordained four years later in 1933. His first pastorate at age 19 was the Israelite Baptist Church in Longstreet, Louisiana.
In September 1950, the congregation of the Good Street Baptist Church called the Reverend Clark to shepherd its flock. He answered their calling and remained the spiritual leader, teacher of God’s Word, minister to the broken-hearted, sick destitute and those without hope.
His unique pulpit manner, undisputed biblical knowledge and visionary interpretations made him a much sought after evangelist and mentor. He served his parishioners, community and fellow clergy with such distinct wisdom and humility that he had gained the esteem of all who encounter him.
Bishop College graduate Rev. Fredrick Douglas Haynes, Senior Pastor of the Friendship West Baptist Church, remembered Dr. Clark in a Memorial Celebration this past Sunday.
Dr. Clark’s National Requiem is today, Monday, August 4, 2008 at 11 a.m. at Good Street Baptist Church, 3110 Bonnie View in Dallas Texas.
