Interesting that he is chaplain at Howard and the youngest American bishop. I didn't know about his journey with the Divine Nine, it makes me want to read the entire article.

I didn't know he was the first black member of the Divine Nine and now he's the youngest American bishop. His journey from Howard to here seems serious. Thanks for the article, I will read it as well.
