A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR DR. CALVIN E. ROBINSON JR. OF TRINITY 
BAPTIST CHURCH IN FLORENCE ON THE OCCASION OF HIS TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF GOSPEL 
MINISTRY AT TRINITY AND TO EXTEND TO HIM BEST WISHES FOR GOD'S RICHEST 
BLESSINGS AS HE CONTINUES TO SERVE THE LORD.

Whereas, it is entirely 
appropriate to honor those individuals who give tirelessly of themselves to 
nurture the souls of men. Dr. Calvin E. Robinson Jr. of Trinity Baptist Church 
in Florence stands among their number as an outstanding minister of the gospel, 
one much admired by colleagues, congregations, and area residents at large; and

Whereas, in preparation 
for his ministry, Dr. Robinson earned his bachelor's degree from South Carolina 
State College, where he was a distinguished graduate of the Air Force ROTC. He 
earned his master's degree from Webster University and his doctorate in ministry 
from Virginia University of Lynchburg; and

Whereas, Calvin 
Robinson is a minister with a passion for helping people. He believes the 
family is the key building block of God's beloved community. He has been led to 
challenge men to serve as the priests of their respective homes and to lead 
their families in worship and in living the life Christ has instructed us to 
live; and

Whereas, further, he 
feels strongly that in order for the family to thrive, it must be in the proper 
environment, one conducive to growth; that the family must receive the 
nourishment and care needed to facilitate growth; and that the family must be 
protected; and

Whereas, Pastor 
Robinson teaches that husbands and wives should exude love for one another in 
every facet of life; have a deep commitment to supporting, and submitting to, 
one another; and share responsibility in raising and nurturing their children, 
who are gifts from God; and

Whereas, his 
ministerial travels for the purpose of preaching and teaching have taken him 
across the United States; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and the continent of Africa. 
Dr. Robinson has conducted seminars on fatherhood and marriage on the national 
level for the Administration of Children and Families and for Head Start on the 
state and local levels. Also on the state level, Dr. Robinson teaches doctrine, 
theology, homiletics, and creative ways of teaching. He is a teacher certified 
by the National Baptist Convention USA Inc.; and

Whereas, Pastor 
Robinson has a strong belief that the local church must strive for 
self-reliance and must manifest that doctrine spiritually, socially, 
economically, and politically. He has great love for his community; therefore, 
he is involved with various organizations to assist the homeless, the elderly, 
the abused, the incarcerated, and those seeking to further their education. He 
also seeks to support economic empowerment; and

Whereas, Pastor 
Robinson feels that being called by God to preach the gospel is the greatest 
honor of his life. He and his loving and devoted wife of forty-one years, Ann, 
are blessed to have three wonderful adult children, Avril, Angel, and Calvin 
III, as well as five delightful grandsons, twins Kiros and Khari, Demtrius II, 
Calvin IV, and Delanore III; and

Whereas, because of his 
many years of spiritual nourishment of the people of South Carolina, Pastor 
Calvin Robinson is due grateful thanks and best wishes as he continues to run 
the race the Lord has set before him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, honor Dr. Calvin E. Robinson Jr. of Trinity Baptist Church 
in Florence on the occasion of his tenth anniversary of gospel ministry at Trinity 
and extend to him best wishes for God's richest blessings as he continues to 
serve the Lord.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Calvin E. Robinson Jr.
