Ray Anderson passed away on Father’s Day, June 21, 2009. The world is a better place because of him and his passing is an enormous loss for the church.
I had the rare blessing of being able to take all three of my systematic theology courses with Ray at Fuller Seminary. Early in my seminary education, Ray formed my theological identity for ministry. He was a man filled with grace, love, and unwavering commitment to the church and theology. I will always remember his ability to flip my world upside down, and open my eyes to see the grace of God in Jesus like in new and deeper ways. He would have this enormously transformative impact on me in less than one hour while casually eating Cream of Mushroom soup at Coco’s in Huntington Beach.
Though he has passed, his contribution to the church will remain and continue to grow.
Here is a thorough eulogy dedicated to Ray Anderson.
