Episcopal Church--History--20th Century
Description:
Richard Lyle York (March 16, 1940 - December 26, 1994) grew up in Santa Maria, California. He married Joy Nesmith, daughter
of a local Methodist minister, in 1961. He attended UC-Santa Barbara--where he argued against the mandatory ROTC program--
and graduated from the Art Institute in San Francisco in 1962. The couple practiced glossolalia (tongue-speaking) in the
Sixties. He attended Church Divinity School of the Pacific (CDSP), where he became a political activist and graduated in
1967. Before moving to Berkeley to direct the Free Church, the couple lived in West Oakland. He was a community organizer
in the West Oakland Public Housing Project from 1964 to 1967. Among York's influences during seminary were his CDSP professor
John Pairman Brown, who became the resident theologian for the Free Church, and by CDSP graduate Malcolm Boyd, author of The
Underground Church.
