“The Noble Succession” …Dr. William Smith III has been installed as pastor of Berean Missionary Baptist Church, 1666 East Raines Rd., succeeding the Rev. Dr. Edward Parker Jr. Said Smith in his installation letter: “I dreamed of many nights as a boy preacher of the church I saw myself preaching and being the pastor. I now know and am very confident that this is the Noble place and people God ordained from the beginning of time for me to love and lead for such a time as this!” (Photo: Tyrone P.
