A Phoenix pastor and community leader will be remembered outside of his church long after his death.
On Friday, Phoenix unveiled ceremonial street signs for Pastor C.R. McDuffy Way at the corner of 13th Avenue and Buckeye Road, right up the street from the late pastor’s church, St. John Institutional Baptist Church. He became pastor at the church in April 2000.
“He was someone who not only led his congregation, but he led this community,” said Councilmember Kesha Hodge Washington during the unveiling ceremony.
