Duane Pederson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rev. Fr. Duane Pederson is a former Jesus freak and leader of the Jesus Movement who, in his capacity as founding editor of the Hollywood Free Paper first coined the terms Jesus People and Jesus Movement.

Pederson later converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church where, taking Holy Orders as an archimandrite, he served for more than a decade as the head of the Orthodox Christian Prison Ministry. Now retired, Fr. Duane still ministers to prisoners and those on the street, as well as serving Los Angeles area parishes of the Antiochian Orthodox Church. He recently edited a 35th anniversary edition of the Hollywood Free Paper.
