Description
The Berkeley Free Church (South Campus Community Ministry), 1967-1972, Richard York, Pastor, operated a service ministry to
the Berkeley, CA, Telegraph Ave. area transients, runaways and hippies. Services included a referral switchboard, counseling,
health care, crash pads, and free food. Support came from area merchants, local churches, and the Episcopal and Presbyterian
denominations. The Church and its clergy were involved in all the radical and social justice issues of the late 60's including
local Berkeley issues, campus riots, and People's Park; peace and draft resistance issues of the Vietnam War; and radical
church renewal in the mainline Protestant denominations.
