Arnold Murray
Arnold Benjamin Murray was ordained to the Office of Minister ‘agreeable to the laws governing ordination in the Soldiers of the Cross..’ by Roy E. Gillaspie, D.Th. of Bellflower, California on April 30th, 1958. Assisting were John Alvin Lovell, D.D. of Dallas, Texas and Oliver Kenneth Goff, D.D. of Soldiers of the Cross, Englewood, Colorado.
Murray established the Church of Jesus Christ in Gravette, Arkansas, one of the independent churches of this name also pastored by Swift, Gillaspie, Smith, Butler, Robb and Jandebeur. Goff became the national chairman for the Church of Jesus Christ group in the 1960’s. In 1991 Murray changed the name of his church to Shepherd’s Chapel, but has to date retained the corporate identity of Soldiers of the Cross.
In 1978 Murray and Leeland Jandebeur collaborated to write the Shepherd’s Bible, a Kingdom Identity edition of the King James with commentary by Murray. It was in the form of loose leaf pages contained in a binder whereby the reader could add additional books of the bible as they were completed. It never was.
