| Abstract | Reverend Calvin Pressley was born in New York City on November 10, 1937. Graduating from high school in South Carolina, he entered Drake University, earning a B.A. degree in 1959 and an M.Div. degree from Drew University in 1962. In the 1960s, Pressley became involved in the War on Poverty and went to work as director of an employment training facility. Urban ministry was a major focus of Pressley's life, and he spent thirteen years at the New York City Mission before moving to Atlanta in 1992 to work as director of the Institute of Church Administration and Management. Returning to New York in 1999, Pressley took over as director of the United Methodist City Society. Pressley was a trustee of the City University of New York and the chairman of the New York Youth Board. Pressley passed away on September 21, 2007 at the age of 69, leaving behind his wife, Ioma. |
