Pastor Dames was also one of the recipients of the 2015 LEAD Brevard’s “4 under 40” awards, the Florida Institute of Technol- ogy (F. I. T.) Rev. Harvey L. Riley, Bridge Builders award, and the Florida Edu- cation Association (FEA) Martin Luther King, Jr. award for Civil Rights.
When asked about his re- cent addition to the Bishop Henry McNeal Turner Alumnae Hall of Fame, Dr. Dames explained, “I am honored to be a Hall of Fame inductee to the Turner Theological Seminary. I’m grateful that God is using me to do His work. I am blessed to have such a sup- portive group of family, friends, and colleagues who love me unconditionally. I am especially blessed to have such a strong and lov- ing church family in Allen Temple AME. The Work is All Divine!”
