Introducing...

The Reverend Dr.

Frank III madisonReid 2 0 1 6 C a n d i d at e f or E p i s c opa l S e r v i c e

The Rev. Dr. Frank Madison Reid, III is an internationallyknown leader, a preeminent power speaker, a cutting-edge thinker, as well as a motivator who encourages and equips people to rebuild their broken lives and communities. Born on June 29, 1951, in Chicago, Illinois, to the late Bishop Frank M. Reid,Jr, and Adrenis Carter Reid, he was the first born son of four children. Three daughters were born to this union, Vee (deceased), Vanessa, and Stephanie. The family moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1956 where Dr. Reid was raised and attended public schools. He graduated from high school in 1969.

A brilliant but late blooming student, Dr. Reid took a year, 196970, to attend the acclaimed Yale Transitional Year Program (TYP). In that program, he began to fulfill his academic and leadership potential and was later admitted to some of the top colleges in the nation. Dr. Reid graduated from Yale in 1974 with a B.A. in History and African American Studies. While at Yale, he served as the moderator and president of the Black Student Alliance (BSA) and had the opportunity to meet some of the top leaders of the world. During his college years, Dr. Reid answered his call to ministry and preached his trial sermon in August of 1971 at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church in Washington, D.C. When he received his license to preach, he became the 5th generation of his family to become a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

In September 1974, Dr. Reid began his studies at the Harvard Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1975, Dr. Reid took a sabbatical to travel to Monrovia, Liberia in West Africa where he taught at Monrovia College and was Co-Pastor of the Historic Eliza Turner A.M.E. Church. He returned to Harvard in the fall of 1976 where he received his Master’s of Divinity Degree in 1978. Since 1978, Dr. Reid has served congregations in Charlotte, North Carolina, Greater Bethel A.M.E. (197880); in Los Angeles, California, Ward A.M.E. Church (198088); and currently in Baltimore, Maryland, the historic Bethel A.M.E. Church. In the midst of a successful ministry, Dr. Reid became a part of the first class of Samuel DeWitt Proctor Doctoral Fellows at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. He graduated with a Doctor of Ministry Degree in 1990.

What Makes

1. Reid Is Spirit Led!

“I have known Rev. Frank Madison Reid, III for over twenty years. He has not only been one of Baltimore’s most far-seeing and impactful faith leaders, he has also been one of Maryland’s most impactful civic leaders. Whether it was championing the cause of a safer Baltimore, or pushing our University of Maryland system toward greater inclusion and higher levels of excellence as a leading member of the Board of Regents. Rev. Reid exemplifies the best of servant leadership -- doing justice, loving mercy and walking humbly with God.” Martin O’Malley - 61st Governor of Maryland

2. Reid Is A Servant Leader!

Dr. Reid is a servant leader whose ministry of over 40 years has been on the cutting edge of positive change. As an intellectual leader, he has consistently brought the top authors and thinkers into the communities that he has served: Taylor Branch, Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson, Sonia Sanchez, Haki Madhubuti, Terri McMillan, BeBe Moore Campbell are just a few of the authors who have spoken at the churches he has pastored. As a community leader, Dr. Reid has had Bishop Desmond Tutu, Dr. Marian Wright Edelman, Dick Gregory, Johnetta Cole, Senator Barbara Mikulski, Congressman Elijah Cummings, Govenor Robert Ehrlich, Govenor Martin O’Malley, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Reverend Al Sharpton, Minister Louis Farrakhan, and Imam Wallace Dean Muhummad to speak at or visit the churches he has pastored. Also, the Comptroller of Baltimore City, a Maryland State Delegate and a former Mayor of Baltimore City are members of Bethel A.M.E. Church.

As a Christian pastor, some of the greatest preachers and teachers in the world have taught at churches that Dr. Reid has pastored: Bishop T.D. Jakes, Bishop Sun Do Kim, Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie, Bishop Vinton R. Anderson, Bishop Noel Jones, Pastor Paula White, Bishop Paul S. Morton, CoPastor Deborah Morton, Dr. William Watley, and Dr. Leonard Sweet to name a few.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake

3. Reid Is Strong!

“Having had the opportunity to work with Rev. Reid as a member of USM’s Board of Regents, I am in awe of his intellect, grasp of complex issues and powerful voice in support of access and success in higher education. He possesses the three qualities that I think distinguish great leaders: integrity, humility and empathy. He is truly a leader of the first rank.”

William E. “Brit” Kirwan - Chancellor, University System of Maryland

4. Reid Stirs Up The Gift of God That Is In Us!

Dr. Frank Madison Reid, III successfully and truly pastors God’s flock.

6. Reid Speaks Up For Us!

“The status quo is another way to say stuck. Safe is another way of pronouncing fear. But to articulate Innovation and Revolution, you must say Rev. Frank Madison Reid, III. Electing him to Episcopal Service in 2016 will say a lot for the AME Church and our future.”

Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant - Pastor, Empowerment Temple AME Church, Baltimore, MD

7. Reid Stands Out!

“Dr. Reid is one of America’s most effective thought leaders. What makes him stand out is the combination of his strong faith and his unusual intellect. He stands out among the best in our country. He has devoted his life to serving God and strengthening communities. He personifies authenticity.”

Freeman A. Hrabowski, III - author of the best selling “Beating The Odds: Raising Academically Successful African American Males.
