This year has been a year of turmoil, infighting, budget problems, controversial staff changes and changing focus. And I’m not talking about the Governor’s office! I’m talking about a church, but not any church. This is one of the most famous churches in Los Angeles.
First Hollywood Presbyterian is no ordinary church. It has a storied history that includes the start of the Billy Graham Ministries and served as the pulpit for current U.S. Senate Chaplain Lloyd Ogilvie. Although considered a "liberal" denomination. There was always a soft spot among more conservative Christians for Hollywood Presbyterian because of its history and location. To have a high profile church in a place like Hollywood was a always a good thing.
The LA Weekly has a decent, if little liberal view of the problems facing this Los Angeles landmark. See it here.
