Forrest Church

[lilithu]

Forrest Church has been diagnosed with throat cancer. I don't know the details of his situation but the prognosis for throat cancer generally isn't good.

For those of you unfamiliar with him, he's the senior minister of All Souls Church in New York City. He's the author of many books including "God and Other Famous Liberals." He's one of our brightest living stars.

Please hold him in your hearts. :flower2:

One of my favorite sermons by Church:
"Liberal Like Jesus"

Oh no. Thanks for the info, I hadn't heard. I will keep him in my thoughts.

Haven't heard anything until now. Hope he feels better soon. He'll be in my prayers, and healing thoughts. It is a pleasure to read his sermons, his words have influenced my journey, and faith development.

Oh no

Thanks for sharing lilithu...That's tragic

One of the first things I did when I found out about UU was to read A Chosen Faith (by Forrest Church and John Buehrens <-- I apologize for the butchered spelling). It inspired me and helped me make the choice to make UU my religious home

He will absolutely be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Rev. Forrest Church preached at our church today. His esophageal cancer is in remission. Against all odds it had not metastasized and doctors were able to remove the tumor surgically. He looked great and he preached a great sermon! :jam:

That is awesome! I was a little worried as I opened this thread what the news might be.
