Ralph Martin’s reflections on Steve Clark – Steve Clark, along with Ralph Martin, was one of the early leaders of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal and founders of the Word of God Community out of which so many ministries have grown. He died on March 16, 2024 near Ann Arbor, Michigan, at the age of 83. The celibate brotherhood which Steve founded and to which he belonged, The Servants of the Word, invited Ralph to offer some reflections at the wake, the evening before the March 23 funeral. Listen here.
