Description

From left are Luther Felder, N. L. Robinson, Dwight McKissic, and Bobby Webber. Portrait taken for a story titled "In Search of Black Leadership" and was published in the April 12, 1987 edition of the Arlington Citizen-Journal. The article reads "Four Arlington Black churches have formed an association which its leaders plan to use as a base for community activities and for developing Black candidates to run for city council and school board posts. More than 200 members from the four congregations attended the first meeting in March at the Rev. Luther Felder's Grace United Methodist Church and formed Arlington Inter-Church Ministerial Fellowship... The combining of congregations of Grace, pastor Dwight McKissic's Cornerstone Baptist, the Rev N. L. Robinson's Mount Olive Baptist, and the Rev. Bobby Webber's First Community Missionary Baptist churches is based on a spiritual purpose of service God and the community, according to Felder." There is a banner visible hanging behind the group, reading "Great is thy Faithfulness."
