He was a board member and Regional Director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) during the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s tenure as founding president. He also served as a national board member and trustee of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Non-Violent Social Change.
His work in the international community has taken him to Hong Kong, Brazil, Taiwan, Japan, West Africa, South Africa, Israel, India and Switzerland.
Dr. Moss served as an advisor to former President Jimmy Carter at Camp David and in 1994 he was the special guest of former President Bill Clinton at the Peace Treaty signing between Israel and Jordan. He formally served on President Barack Obama’s White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnership Council. In 2009, Dr. Moss co-lectured with Rajmohan Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, during a multi-city tour of India illuminating the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi.
Dr. Moss is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Role Model of the Year Award from the National Institute for Responsible Fatherhood and Family Development in 1992 and the Leadership Award from the Cleveland chapter of the American Jewish Committee in 1996. He was inducted into the 2007 Class of the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame. In 2004, Dr. Moss was bestowed the unique honor of the Lyman Beecher Lectureship on Preaching at Yale University.

The Gardner C. Taylor Lectures on Preaching is annual event on the Interdenominational Theological Center campus (it convenes in October of each year). The lecture series bears the name of Gardner Calvin Taylor, a prominent 20th century Baptist preacher known for his classical oratory. He is widely believed to be among the 20th century’s greatest preachers. Numerous times Dr. Taylor’s portrait appeared in Ebony Magazine, describing him as the pulpit’s standard bearer. Others have called Taylor the Pulpit King while others the Pulpit Laureate.
In addition, the Gardner C. Taylor Archives is a part of dedicated space located on the grounds of the Interdenominational Theological Center. Many of Taylor’s sermons are cataloged digitally and available to students and scholars for research.
