Roberto Miranda died on Saturday, May 21. He was a spiritual giant – the person with arguably more moral capital than anyone else in Boston. His unexpected death at the age of 66 is a tragic loss for his family, his church, his many friends, and our community. He leaves a tremendous void in the Boston community.
Reverend Miranda served as Senior Pastor of Congregacion Leon de Juda (Lion of Judah), one of the leading Hispanic churches in Boston, for about 38 years, starting in 1984. He described Lion of Judah as an evangelical, pentecostal church of the American Baptist denomination. With a biblically-based worldview, he preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in one of the most secular cities in America.
