Rev. Cecil L. Murray: A Call to Ministry

Rev. Cecil L. Murray led First African Methodist Episcopal (FAME) Church in Los Angeles for 27 years. In this video, Pastor Murray reflects on his calling to the ministry, from his childhood in the Deep South to preaching to thousands at FAME. Pastor Murray shares his pastoral theology, which grounded his sermons in a liberating reading of Scripture as well as universal truths of human nature and the particular context of his congregation.
