rise in glory

Jul 22, 2014

It was with sadness today that I learned of the death of two young Christian leaders who have died suddenly and well before their time.

Lynda Patterson served most recently as the Dean of Christ Church Anglican Cathedral who has led the Cathedral parish through these difficult years with compassion as a great preacher and teacher. Tony Palmer was an evangelical bishop who became well known for his friendship with Pope Francis, and for the remarkable video that emerged from a friendly catch-up they had in February.

May both Lynda and Tony rest in peace, and rise in glory.
