Whereas, he holds a doctor of pastoral ministry degree and ministers the word on a daily basis to the glory of God; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the great work of this man of God by having a portion of Wilson Road in the City of Florencenamed in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation name the portion of Wilson Road in the City of Florence from its intersection with Irby Street to its intersection with Oakland Avenue “Elder Elijah Green Way” and erect appropriate markers or signs along this road containing this designation.
