Bishop Loran Mann, a velvet-voiced minister and founder of Pittsburgh’s Pentecostal Temple Church of God in Christ, is being remembered by city leaders as a monumental figure in the region’s landscape.
Mann died Sunday at the age of 74, the Pentecostal Temple Church announced Sunday.
“He had a gregarious nature and always an uplifting spirit,” Tim Stevens, chairman of the Black Political Empowerment Project (B-PEP), said. “He was one of those people that when they walked into a room, everyone took notice. He had a great smile and presence. I had hoped that my friend would have been with us for many years to come to enjoy his leadership and spirit.”
