In Loving Remembrance of Patriarch Dr. Granville Williams
Today we remember with honor and gratitude the life and legacy of our beloved spiritual father, Patriarch Dr. Granville Williams, born on this day and called home on April 6, 2014.
Through the will of God, he was chosen and sent to build a house of worship, raising up Jerusalem Cathedral and many other branches—Zion Temple, Pillar of Fire, Bethlehem Temple, Buelah, Scarlet Cord Cathedral, and Zion Hyde Park. Each one stands as a living testament to his faith, his labor, and his unwavering obedience to God’s call.
We are forever grateful for the sacrifices he made, the vision he carried, and the foundation he laid. Because of his obedience and love, the people of God have places to gather, to worship, and to grow. His legacy continues to shape us, bringing us from where we were to who we are today.
With love and deep appreciation, Bishop Simon and the members of Scarlet Cord Cathedral honor his memory today, thanking God for the life of a true servant and father in the faith.
Patriarch, your work lives on in us, and your memory will remain a guiding light for generations to come.
