The immigration and refugee advocacy community has lost a co-laborer in the field with the untimely death of the Reverend Kelly S. Allen on June 5.
Allen, pastor and head of staff of University Presbyterian Church in San Antonio, Texas, was pronounced brain dead at 9:30 a.m. after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke Friday afternoon.
“The whole Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is holding University Presbyterian Church and Kelly’s family in prayer,” said the Reverend Gradye Parsons, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the PC(USA). “Our hearts are broken and our souls are wounded at this great loss. Kelly was such a strong witness for all we hold dear as Presbyterians. Her faith knew no depths. Her fear knew no obstacles. The life she lived was full of the grace of God that she generously shared with all of us.”
The Rev. Kelly Allen, pastor of University Presbyterian Church in San Antonio, has been endorsed by Mission Presbytery to stand for moderator of the upcoming 221st General Assembly, June 14-21 in Detroit.
