His life served a great purpose and will leave a legacy that lives on with us as he lives on in the presence of God. I’m happy for him but sad for the Christ family left here on earth.

So many of us were impacted deeply by his generous scholarship. <br/><br/>His desire for full, deep, true worship is reality for him. May God comfort his family and many friends in their loss...

I am a lay Anglican blessed with the privilege of coordinating free-flowing alternative services to mark the church year. These involve new liturgies, formational rituals and devotional exercises. Bob's columns, articles and conference seminars gave me two freedoms to do this. The first freedom was that of boundaries - liquid worship needs a channel to flow in, and though I had worshiped within the framework of the classic elements of a liturgical service for years, Bob's teachings at seminars and in his columns underscored their role and importance. The second freedom came from his love and respect for worship traditions outside of his own personal Christian heritage. As a lay person, I loved many aspects of these ancient forms of worship, devotion and spiritual formation but felt uncertain in my assesment of their value. Bob's endorsement birthed the freedom to join old and new.<br/><br/>In my brief personal encounter with Bob, I found him to be gracious and encouraging. Thank you Lord, for the gift of Bob.

I was always impressed with his passion for the " CHURCH "...his vision to see into the future, while at the same time reach back and claiming the wisdom of the ancient church. Even back then Bob was engaged in the emerging/missional conversation...although he didn't apply that label.His will a voice of wisdom that will be truly missed as the church moves further along the corridor of history. He has blessed us all. David, I had the opportunity to be involved with Bob in a conference on ” Blended Worship “, some twenty years ago.

Hubby and I were just looking at his website on Friday, at the different worship materials available to help us in our new “job”. I was just floored when I heard the news on Sunday.
