MEMORIALS

REV. LLOYD ANDREW BERG

February 22, 1932 - April 26, 2021

"He could be profoundly serious, counseling congregants and passionately discussing the injustices of war," according to friends and relatives. But there was the other side as well: "He could also be silly and lively, playing tag with his children and howling at a full moon with full-throated commitment."

These views of the Reverend Lloyd Andrew Berg were in no way contradictory - just different aspects of a man who had a lifelong commitment to the peace movement and an irrepressible desire. to enjoy life. He joined FOR as a teenager, registered as a conscientious objector, and became an eloquent fundraiser who was ardent in his support of the Fellowship of Reconciliation.

Born in Oakwood Heights on Long Island in 1932, Berg attended city schools, graduated from New Dorp High School, and went on to Wagner College where he earned his degree in sociology, became captain of the debate team and, by his own account, an expert ping-pong player. He had felt a call to the ministry at an early age, and after earning a Master's in divinity, went on to serve as pastor at Calvary Church for ten years, followed by 30 years at the Kingsbridge Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Bronx.

Despite his urban upbringing, Lloyd was an avid hiker and mountain climber who amassed a wide-ranging collection of photographs taken from peaks he had conquered. He treasured camping and summer vacations spent in Vermont.

Friends, congregants, and family members appreciated his great sense of humor and never tired of the stories he honed to perfection with repeat performances.

Lloyd is survived by his wife, Patricia; three children and a stepson; and four grandchildren. With characteristic generosity that was a theme throughout his life, Rev. Berg asked that contributions be made to FOR in lieu of flowers.

Its 119 rooms remained unoccupied while a growing population of Atlanta's homeless were turned...
