My spiritual roots were formed under Suffragan Bishop Clancy's leadership. I can say some thirty-five years later that those roots still anchor me. For they are strong, rigid, and able to endure the tests that life brings.
I am saddened by the passing of Suffragan Bishop Clancy. But I am reminded that death is NOT the end; it is the BEGINNING. So we say goodbye on this side of Heaven and wait to see him on that GREAT DAY.
To the family, may God continue to strengthen and comfort you during this difficult time. Suffragan Bishop Clancy will definitely remembered among the greats......

To the Clancy Family,
Unfortunately I didn't know Pastor Clancy as well as I should have. I grew up at Christ Church Deliverance when Uncle Bishop Allen, The Former Pastor and Mother Allen was at the helm.
Just another reminder of why we shouldn't put off what we can do today for tomorrow, because tomorrow is not promised.
To the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and extended family members, continue in the way of the LORD. Regardless of time and space you are my family and I love you unconditionaly.

My heart is overwhelmed as I consider the loss of Uncle Andrew. I truly admired him for his kindness, gentle nature and most importantly his steadfast love for God.

My heart goes out to you all at this time of deepest loss. Although no words can erase the pain that you are feeling, please take comfort in knowing that you are surrounded by the love and prayers of myself and many others who truly care. Your Dad was larger than life and for 17 years he spoke into my life and impacted me in a manner unlike anyone else. Please forgive all of us church members for the precious moments of his time that we required, which might have otherwise been spent with you all. Thank you for the sacrifice you made in sharing him with us. May God ever bless and keep you in His loving care.

To; Sis. Polly Clancy, the Clancy Families, the Christ Church Families & Community;
Thank God for the Life of Suff. Bishop Andrew Clancy, my Senior Father in the Gospel for many years who was CONVINCED and very much CONVICTED on the Apostolic doctrine that of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Apostles. He stood for HOLINESS, had a GREAT sense of HUMOR and there was NO QUESTION ABOUT IT…HE wanted souls to be saved according the scripture.
We will miss him dearly but NOW we must apply the WORD of GOD that was spoken thorough this SOLIDER and Save ourselves from this untoward generation.
"CHURCH SAY AMEN"
God Bless You ALL in Jesus Name!
