CONTINUATION OF BIOGRAPHY OF CANDIDATE PETER ROMANOWSKY


I Peter Romanowsky have lived in Marin County for most of my life. I moved here as a teenager in 1965 from Forestville in Sonoma County where I lived a couple of years and attended Analy High School before moving to Larkspur and attending Redwood High. After a brief time in Southern California again, where I originated from in my youth, I married the youngest daughter of Marin County Supervisor Ernest Niles Kettenhofen who was a larger then life historical, political as well as business figure in Northern California.
I was called into the ministry of Jesus Christ as a young man of eighteen years. I was licensed as a General Baptist Minister in 1969 by the Central California Association of the General Baptist Church of America. After my internship I was recruited by the New Covenant Evangelistic Assoication an inter-denominational ministerial alliance headquarted in Richmond California and made vice president of the association. I had orginized founded and pastored a church which meet in the facilites of the Woodarce Improvement Club. From that location we moved our little congregation to the beautiful Stewart Chapel on the seminary hill campus of the San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo.


After pastoring and church orginizing for many years, I began to feel the call for more direct social and political action. I met and talked with religious leaders at an early age. I traveled extensively as an internationl missionary evangelist with religious healing and teaching ministry through out Western Europe and the Middle East. I have been on ten seperate overseas missions with many countries being visited and ministered to.


I have been involved with the early religious television outreach of the San Francisco Bay Area as well as meeting and talking to a number of the early pioneers of national religious telecasting and broadcasting. I also had a number of religious radio programs of my own connected to our church. I had my experiance with small businesses when our congregation opened a thrift store next to Safeway in San Rafael. What I am most proud of is the Halfway House that our congregation supported in San Anselmo, where we took in all the poor and homeless off the streets and fed, provided showers telephones, television and a clean warm safe place to live, with a beautiful garden to walk in. I am so happy to have had a place so large, that we could take in so many people over so many years, without any help from the government. I am proud to say that we had no homeless people living on the streets of San Anselmo when I ran a homeless shelter and Diciple House with my wife Becky, which was connected to our little Church.
