Dear Saints,<\/p>\n

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints<\/em>.”
\nPsalm 116:15<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>This notice of Episcopal Transition is as per the directive of our Presiding Bishop & Chief Apostle, Bishop Charles Edward Blake, Sr.<\/p>\n

God, who is omnipotent and omniscient, has summoned His Server, Bishop Charles Elisha Dowdell, Jr.<\/strong><\/em>, to eternal rest. Bishop Dowdell served as an Auxiliary Bishop in Indiana North Central Fourth Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, under the leadership of Jurisdictional Prelate, Bishop Donald Alford.<\/p>\n

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic resulting in local and state restrictions on public gatherings to achieve social distancing, the family will hold a private memorial service for this servant.<\/p>\n

During this time of uncertainty, we request the continued prayers as well as acts of emotional and spiritual support for the family.\u00a0 It is with great honor that the National Adjutancy will assist the Dowdell family during this most difficult time.<\/p>\n

“Blessed be the God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.<\/em>”
\n2 Corinthians 1:3<\/p>\n

Sanctifying the Leader, I Am,<\/p>\n
