IN RECOGNITION OF THE LIFE OF BISHOP DR. MACY CARR
______
HON. MIKE ROGERS
of alabama
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, November 17, 2021
Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the remarkable life of Bishop Dr. Macy Carr who passed away on November 5, 2021.
Macy Carr was born in Anniston, Alabama, on May 14, 1942 to Joseph and Mattie Carr. He was the second of eight children. He graduated from Cobb High School in 1962. He attended Alabama State University prior to enlisting in the United States Army in 1963. His military decorations include the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal with one device, the Overseas Bar, the Army good conduct medal and qualified as a sharpshooter twice on the M-16 and M-14 rifles.
After serving in the Army, Carr returned home and devoted his life to Christ. He began as a member of Miracle Revival Temple (MRT) under the leadership of Pastor Ruby K. Blackwell and Elder Paul Blackwell, Sr. He became head Deacon and a member of the evangelistic team.
Not only did Bishop Carr find the Lord and a church home at MRT, but he also found his wife, Sister Lana T. Carr.
He united with the Back to the Bible Ministry under Bishop Raymond Moss, Sr. It all began in the basement of Carr's house. His family made the weekly trek to Marietta, Georgia, for seven years. This established the Alabama Back to the Bible Miracle Revival Fellowship Church in September of 1987.
In 2010, The Alabama Back to the Bible Church entered the family of Full Gospel Holy Temple Church Inc. under the late Apostle Lobias Murray and the late Evangelist Dr. Shirley Murray. Bishop Carr was blessed to see his son and daughter-in-law, Elder Christopher D. Carr, Sr. and Lady LaShunda S. Carr elevated to Pastor and First Lady of Anniston Full Gospel Holy Temple Church Inc. just before his transition.
He was blessed with four wonderful children, 16 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and one on the way.
Madam Speaker, please join me in remembering Bishop Carr and his life of service.
