Biographical History
Maurice F. McCrackin was a prominent minister and social activist in Cincinnati. After graduating from the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago in 1930, he taught in Iran for a few years under the auspices of the United Presbyterian Church. In 1945 he became minister at the West Cincinnati - St. Barnabas Church. McCrackin was convicted in 1957 of withholding income taxes, which he said funded the government's war machine. As a result of his prison sentence, McCrackin became involved in prison reform. In the 1960s he was also a leader of "Operation Freedom," a group which gave financial assistance to Southerners suffering reprisals due to their civil rights activities. The Presbytery of Cincinnati removed McCrackin as minister of the West Cincinnati - St. Barnabas Church in 1962 because of his activities, and subsequently McCrackin and his followers formed the Community Church of Cincinnati. He died in 1997.
