Worship Feedback with Tex
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2009
Over the course of his life, he has worked as a cab driver, as a laborer, and as a roust-about in the oil fields. In addition, he pastored churches for eight years and served three years as the Director of Social Relations of the Massachusetts Council of Churches. In this capacity he was the lobbyist for the Council and worked actively in the civil rights and peace movements.

His real name is Tex. It is not a nickname. His father named him after Texanna Gillham, an African-American woman who was born in slavery and helped raise his father near Center, Texas. Clearly Tex has a lot of stories, insight and ideas to share – we hope you’ll be a part of the dialog.
