The Atlanta Constitution
A memorial service for Dr. Harmon Moore, 71, who was executive director of the 
Christian Council of Metropolitan Atlanta for 12 years before retiring, will be 
at 10:30 a.m. Friday at the Oak Grove United Methodist Church, with burial in 
Ava Community United Methodist Church, near Wedowee, Ala. Dr. Moore died Monday 
in the Wesley Woods Health Care Center in Atlanta after a five-month illness. 
Under Dr. Moore's leadership, the Christian Council moved from a primarily 
ministerial group to an organization including laymen and laywomen and crossing 
geographical, social, economic, racial and denominational lines. He also 
encouraged some of the top business and professional leadership of Atlanta to 
become involved in the work of the council. A native of Wedowee, Dr Moore 
graduated from Kentucky Wesleyan College and Candler School of Theology. He did 
graduate work at Columbia University and earned his doctor- ate at Union 
Theological Seminary. He was also awarded an honorary doctorate by the Tokyo 
Theological Seminary in Japan.  He became an Army "chaplain in 1941, shortly 
after World War II began.... Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Margaret Stone Moore; 
daughter, Mrs. Joyce Mertz of Orlando, Fla.; sons, Dr. David H. Moore, U.S. 
Army, Atlanta; Dr. Steven Moore, U.S. Army, Eisenhower Medical Center, and James 
H. Moore of Longwood; a sister, Miss Myrtle L. Moore of Birmingham, Ala.; and 
brothers, James C. Moore of Turlock, Calif, M.E. Moore of Fredonia, Ala, and the 
Rev. Charles 0. Moore of Birmingham, Ala. In lieu of flowers, contributions may 
be made in Dr. Moore's memory to the Christian Council of Metropolitan Atlanta 
Emergency Help Center, 848 Peachtree, St. N.E. Atlanta, Ga.
