cecil was actually doing the serving, and cecil did the kind of serving of food he would like to eat and became dramatically different. and believe me, i suspect it established for all of the nation how you do free food to people who need it. >> willie brown said that he expects glide will stay strong into the future with that guiding influence to draw on, east bay congresswoman barbara lee said today that she, too is deeply saddened about the death of williams, adding, quote, the reverend changed the lives of millions through radical love, support, inclusivity and a commitment to service to the most marginalized. when he arrived at glide memorial church in the 1960s, the congregation numbered 35 people. during the last 50 years, he transformed it into a world renowned congregation and nonprofit. san francisco mayor london breed today proposing a new plan that
