Description
Summary:
Community activist and pastor Cecil L. "Chip" Murray was born on September 26, 1929 in Lakeland, Florida. Murray earned his B.A. degree from Florida A&M University, but joined the United States Air Force after graduation. After leaving the Air Force, Murray attended the School of Theology at Claremont in California and earned his Rel.D. degree in religion. After working in Pomona, Kansas City and Seattle, Murray became leader of Los Angeles' First African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1977. Under Murray, the congregation grew from several hundred members to roughly 18,000, and he became a nationally known figure in the wake of the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Under Murray's leadership, the church became involved in job-training, homeownership loans, affordable housing and HIV/AIDS awareness. Murray retired as senior pastor on September 25, 2004 and began working as a senior fellow at the Center for Religion and Civic Culture in the School of Religion at the University of Southern California.
