It is with profound grief that we confirm that Reverend Cecil Williams, GLIDE’s renowned Co-Founder and Minister of Liberation, passed away on April 22 at the age of 94, in his home in San Francisco.
With Reverend Cecil William’s passing, we have lost an incomparable champion of social justice, civil and human rights, and liberation theology. For more than 60 years, Reverend Cecil Williams expanded the limits of spirituality, compassion and diversity as Co-Founder and Minister of Liberation of GLIDE in San Francisco.
As minister, author, social activist, lecturer, community leader and ceaseless champion for the poor and marginalized, Reverend Cecil Williams was long respected and recognized as a national leader on the forefront of change and in the struggle for civil and human rights. Today, he joins his beloved late wife and Co-Founder, Janice Mirikitani, in eternal peace.
Our hearts go out to every person Reverend Williams touched throughout his long and beautiful life. Memorial plans are still being arranged, and updates will be shared on this page.
Please check back.
With love,
Dr. Gina Fromer
President & CEO of the GLIDE Foundation
