Homegoing of a Saint: Bishop Henry Barnwell, Phoenix, AZ

Global United Fellowship sadly announces the transitioning of Bishop Henry Barnwell.

Bishop Barnwell was one of the first public supporters of GUF, and having already retired from full-time ministry, continued to offer his support to our presiding prelate and the fellowship, also attending his inauguration in November of 2014.

Our sincerest sympathies and heartfelt prayers are extended to his loved ones and church family members, during this time of bereavement.  We share in their sorrow and praise God for the life of our Beloved brother, Bishop Henry Barnwell.  May his soul rest in eternal peace.
