And Times Square Church, which he founded, reportedly draws 8,000 people weekly and is known for its many social service ministries.Wilkerson continued to write blog posts until his death.
Update: Details about Wilkerson's memorial service will be posted on Times Square's website, which states that it will be streamed live.
