New York Religious Leader Receives Visionary Award

Friends and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New York gathered Saturday night, June 8, 2024, to honor a religious giant in their community.
The New York Latter-day Saint Professional Association (NYLDSPA) gave its annual visionary leadership award to the Rev. A.R. Bernard. He is the founder, CEO and pastor of the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn.
“I have enjoyed my association with Reverend A.R. Bernard Sr.,” said Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “His exemplary service in building faith and reducing suffering needs to be celebrated. He not only addresses the spiritual needs of the members of his congregation but also in a Christlike manner administers to the temporal needs of members and nonmembers of his congregation and the community.”

I love seeing the church work with people of all faiths! There are so many people of goodwill with whom we can help many more people than we could without.
