We are saddened to share the loss of former California Council of Churches Executive Director Glen Holman. Glen was a social justice warrior long before the term was coined. He was born on Feb. 1, 1924 in Great Falls MT and died peacefully on August 17, 2019 in Sacramento. He was educated at Northwest Christian College, University of Oregon, and Texas Christian University. Glen was ordained in 1947 and soon after became Executive Director of the Disciples of Christ in Montana. Sacramento welcomed him in 1962 as the Executive Director of the local Council of Churches. In 1969 he became director of the Office for State Affairs for the California Council of Churches (founded in 1935), lobbying in the Capitol for legislation on various social issues. He is survived by his present wife Marion and two youngest sons Ron and Mark. Glen was preceded in death by his 2nd wife Florence and his oldest son Tim. He is also survived by several grandchildren, several great-grandchildren, and one great great-grandchild.
