NEW YORK — The son of the late gospel singer Rev. Timothy Wright will be installed as pastor of his father’s Brooklyn church.

A family spokesman says 30-year-old David Wright will become leader of the Grace Tabernacle Christian Center Church of God in Christ on Sunday.

The Rev. Timothy Wright died in April. He was paralyzed from the neck down following a July 2008 car crash in Pennsylvania that killed his wife and grandson.

The Grammy-nominated 61-year-old was known as the “Godfather of Gospel.” He started the church nearly 20 years ago.
