The Rev. Cecil Williams Online Exhibit

For 60 years, the Reverend Cecil Williams has expanded the limits of spirituality, compassion and diversity as Co-Founder and Minister of Liberation of Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco. As minister, author, social activist, lecturer, community leader and spokesperson for the poor and marginalized, Reverend Williams is respected and recognized as a national leader on the forefront of change and in the struggle for civil and human rights.  His ministry underscores his roots in liberation theology.
 
Rev. Williams’ vision can be seen in Glide’s unique and powerful blend of spirituality, principled compassion, and cutting-edge programs for those most in need.  Located in the heart of one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods, people of all races, ethnic backgrounds, cultures, social classes, ages, faiths, and sexual orientations join together at every Sunday Celebration to experience the energy of spiritual liberation coupled with the fusion of jazz, blues and gospel performed by the renowned Glide Ensemble choir and the Change Band.

This exhibit highlights some of the many aspects of Rev. Williams’ life, ministry and legacy.
