Calvary Storytellers: Fran Moreland Johns

“In the ways that are exemplified by Calvary, I think San Francisco has changed for the better. Because Calvary and a lot of people in San Francisco and causes rooted in San Francisco are for justice and equality.” Fran Moreland Johns' life is continually colored by a passionate energy for involvement and action. Born in Brazil to Methodist missionaries, her progressive activism and dynamic writing career have persisted through the decades. Fran’s story is one that vitally traipses across 90+ years of American history, from meeting Eleanor Roosevelt to experiencing a pre-Roe v. Wade abortion to intimate involvement with Calvary’s HIV support group in the 1990s. It’s a story that’s not to be missed.
