Donald J. MaccallumMinister

The Rev. Donald J. Maccallum, 84, a retired minister who established the United Church Center for Community Ministries (now Community Ministries of Rockville), died Oct. 21 of pneumonia and lung cancer at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers, Mass. A former resident of Rockville and Gaithersburg, he had lived in Hampton, Mass., since 1991.

Rev. Maccallum was born in Cambridge, Mass., and grew up in Arlington, Mass. He graduated from Tufts University in 1943 and received a bachelor of divinity degree from Pacific School of Religion in 1946 and a master's degree in sacred theology from Harvard Divinity School in 1949.

Ordained in 1946, he served congregations in California and Massachusetts before moving to Rockville in 1966. In 1967, he initiated the merger of local United Church of Christ and United Presbyterian congregations. The resulting United Church Center for Community Ministries, which he directed for five years, became an advocate for the disadvantaged in the area.

Deeply involved with the problems of juvenile delinquency and drug abuse, he was appointed director of the Montgomery County Office of Drug Control in 1971. He occasionally took residents and officials on poverty tours, exposing them to isolated areas of the county where people lived in shacks with no running water or electricity.

He studied criminology and drug abuse at the University of Maryland and San Francisco State University and published articles and delivered lectures on youth problems and drug-abuse issues.
