It is with profound sadness that we share the news that on Sunday March 2, 2025, the Rev. Dr. Dorsey O. Blake passed away. Rev. Blake was a justice warrior, a prophet and a teacher to many of us. You might remember Rev. Blake when he gave the keynote address at the 6th Annual Genesis Be The Change Breakfast in 2018 and provided the Call for Commitment at our 2024 Breakfast, pictured above. There is "no Genesis" without Rev. Blake--as he walked with us in our vision to create social justice ministries as part of the DNA of our membership. Genesis was invited annually to speak (and agitate!) his students at the Pacific School of Religion where he was Faculty.
There will be a Celebration of Life Service on Saturday March 22 at 11 am at The Fellowship of All Peoples, where Rev. Blake served as Presiding Minister since 1994. More details can be found on their website. Please join us as we lift up Rev. Blake, his family and loved ones in prayer. We will miss the love, commitment, and enthusiasm that he exemplified in the pursuit of the Beloved Community.
