Dear Saints,
This correspondence is being sent at the request of the Adjutant General, Bishop Robert G. Rudolph, Jr. as per Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. 
It is with great regret that I inform you of the passing of Bishop C. L. Bryant, Jurisdictional Prelate of the Texas Southeast Third Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction. The Bryant Family and the Jurisdiction are in need of our fervent prayers.
Arrangements are being made at this time by our denomination to honor this great man of God. As the information is given to the adjutancy, it will be forwarded to you as soon as possible.
If I can be of further assistance, you can reach me by calling my office at (904) 217-9603.
In His Service
Overseer Earl R. Matthews
