The Inspiration Of Paul Moore (1919-2003)
A man of great personal warmth, Paul Moore found joy in helping people who needed help.
He fought for the poor, the out-of-luck, and the disenfranchised. Using the amplifying power of his office, he spoke strongly on behalf of those who often had no voice.
As Episcopal Bishop of New York from 1972 to 1989, Moore helped place the Church’s interests and priorities “right smack bam in the middle of the city, with all its life and dirt and struggle.”
Bishop Moore’s moral leadership and personal dedication to improving the conditions of the poor inspired ESS to honor him (with his family’s full support). The personal warmth he exuded makes it particularly fitting that the “Paul’s House” honor be a center for children and families.
