Thank You, Dr. Webber

Worship pioneer, Dr. Robert Webber has gone to experience the greatest worship we live for and attempt to imagine. Dr. Webber served as the William R. and Geraldyne B. Myers Chair of Ministry and Director of M.A. in Worship & Spirituality at Northern Seminary. He died last Friday, 4/27.

For those of us in pastoral ministry and worship leadership he was more than a guru. He got it! He bridged the gap between the ancients and the future. He coined the term, "Ancient-Future Worship". His books, conferences and lectures on worship were ahead of their time and yet a reclamation of something we had forgotten during the late 20th Century. He led us to recover all that was biblical and real about ancient worship.

Thank you Dr. Webber, you touched so many lives and ministries, and yet you never met most of us! Rest in Jesus!
