Clay is still working on building bridges; of bringing people together from different expressions of faith. This is a nice article. The interesting thing to me is that Clay still has this vision and mindset. He is a wonderful leader for Holy Spirit Renewal Ministries. HSRM is the modern continuation of the group, American Baptist Charismatic Fellowship, which was started by Ken Pagaard. Clay is bringing about a new time of cooperation between HSRM and the wider family through his cooperative spirit. I don't mean to imply that Clay doesn't stand firm in his beliefs, he does, but he also gently and lovingly works with those with a different understanding of the working of the Holy Spirit.
Larry Clark was, along with Clay and Ken, one of the most prolific authors of OLT articles. Larry always had something to say, and it was usually deep and almost always interesting. I suppose I am partial to Larry because he and I are both alumni of UCLA. In fact, we were in a small class together and didn't even know one another (at that time.)
This is one of the pictures that I remember most from Abba Graphics.
Jerry Jamison was one of the leaders of the younger generation at FBCCV. He was one of the Heads of Abba Craft, an editor of OLT and Head of the Fifth Avenue Household. He was bright, talented and a great leader. He is still living locally (one of my Face Book friends). Jerry never finished seminary, but he and I both began Bethel Seminary at the same time. We were in the first class offered when the Seminary opened a branch in San Diego.
Cathy Mower was a troubled young woman. She was the mother of Joshua who I have written about in another blog. Joshua was later adopted by Jacque Johns (Mays). Because of Cathy's many problems, I find the poem somewhat poignant.
I was a part of the hospital ministry for several years. My main task was to lead a sing along at Fredericka manor every Wed. afternoon.
