TBGB just learned that Bishop Kenneth H. Moales passed away yesterday evening at the age of 65.
Bishop Moales was Presider of the Pentecostal Churches of Jesus Christ, Pastor of Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, gospel recording artist, and President of the National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses (aka “The Dorsey Convention”).
He will surely be missed by so many who knew and loved him.
