Description:
This photo of members of the Berkeley Free Church was used as a small flier to advertise the publication of The Covenant
of Peace by Morehouse-Barlowe Co. Among those pictured are: Phyllis Smith, 3rd from left, key volunteer on the switchboard;
then John Pairman (Jock) Brown, resident theologian; and Richard York, minister, director and guiding force. Brown described
the founding of the church as "bringing hippies and the Peace movement together in a common format, giving radical Pentecostals
and radical Catholics the common liturgy of finding housing, finding food, finding people.” ("Toward a United Peace and Freedom
Church," In The Underground Church, ed. Malcolm Boyd. New York: Sheed and Ward, 1968, p 41.)
