Interfaith Alliance Mourns Passing of Former Board Member Bishop Carlton Pearson
WASHINGTON — Interfaith Alliance, a national group that advocates for inclusive democracy and healthy boundaries between religion and government, reacted to the death of Bishop Carton Pearson, a former member of its board of directors:
Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance said:
“We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Bishop Carlton Pearson, a leader who preached a message of inclusion and helped so many people connect their faith to the challenges and issues we face in our everyday lives. Descended from a long line of preachers, Bishop Pearson’s calling was to connect with those who felt spiritually unresolved or were searching for faith in their lives. Bishop Pearson liked to call himself a Sacred Activist and Spiritual Progressive – and he brought that passion to his work as a member of the Interfaith Alliance board of directors. Our hearts go out to his loved ones at this difficult time and we will keep them in our prayers.”
