Biography/Administrative History
Bradley Parks was the man Southern California Presbyterian and Episcopalian Charismatics entrusted with the taping of many
of their conferences from 1972 to 1998. The Presbyterian Charismatic Communion (PCC) was the first to enlist his services.
The joint conferences held by the PCC and the Episcopal Charismatic Fellowship (ECF) were taped by Brad Parks, with the help
of his wife Ruth Olive Witcraft Parks, from 1981 until the last such conference in 1993.
They also taped the annual conferences of the ECF held at Chapman College in Orange from 1983 to 1994 and the Glendale Healing
Conferences, as well as various Healing and Spiritual Warfare Conferences held in the area. They maintained an extensive library
of other charismatic tapes which Brad reproduced for church and association members, missionaries and prison inmates.
