Bishop L.D. Williams passed this morning according to several sources.

Bishop Williams learned much from Dr. Thomas Kilgore, Pastor E.V. Hill and the Rev. Dr. Cecil ‘Chip’ Murray.  He’s worked closely with Bill and Hillary Clinton, strategized with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, and collaborated with U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters.

He was the dedicated pastor of the Baptist Church of the New Covenant in Norwalk. He served nine years as president of the Baptist Ministers Conference of Southern California (BMC) where the organization often addressed social issues affecting disadvantaged people.
