Bishop F. D. Washington was a renowned Pentecostal minister of the Washington Temple Church of God in Christ (COGIC) in Brooklyn, New York. His most famous protege is Rev. Al Sharpton, whom he licensed and ordained as a minister at the age of nine. Eventually, Washington introduced Sharpton to Reverend William Augustus Jones Jr., who converted Sharpton to Baptist, which he remains.[1] Washington also was the spiritual father to many COGIC pastors, including for example, Bishop Norman L. Prescott, who is now the prelate of New Jersey's Third Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.
