The Rev. John H. Mack, 65, who extended the multicultural tradition of openness at First Congregational United Church of Christ and who made his church a leader in providing opportunities for the poor and excluded of Washington, died Jan. 15 of pulmonary failure at his home in the District. He was stricken with high-altitude pulmonary edema and pneumonia while trekking in the Himalayas in November.
