First sentence: When Reverend Murray first came to the oldest black congregation in Los Angeles, the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, in 1977, he had a congregation of three hundred; today, the congregation consists of more than 12,300 members and has over thirty task forces that deal with a range of issues, from job testing and placement programs to a $5 million transportation program for seniors and the handicapped, to providing housing for the homeless.
