Thank you for visiting our pages. You are welcome to share your memories by adding to the guest book. Entries will be published within 24 hours of submission. Lawrence Lowenthal <lowenthall@ajc.org> A lovely, serene, ethereal gentleman, with a brilliant mind and a noble spirit. I was privileged to serve on a panel with him a few years ago, and I was both moved and stimulated by the experience. His charismatic presence was a blessing to our entire interfaith community. Dr. Debbie Weissman <debbiew@netvision.net.il> I had the honor of meeting Bishop Stendhal at the Swedish Theological Institute in Jerusalem and his son John at the Tantur Institute here. This is a major loss to the community of Christians and Jews engaged in inter-religious dialogue and learning. My thoughts go out to the family at this difficult time. As we say, "may you be comforted from Heaven." Sister Gemma Del Duca, S.C. <gdelduca@netvision.net.il> Whenever Bishop Stendahl visited Jerusalem, we were sure to have a lecture that would give us hope and yet urge us on to further research, dialogue, prayer. Perhaps more than what he said was his presence that inspired and encouraged all of us, even he did not know us personally, with his good humor and joy. May he rest in peace and may the Lord give comfort and strength to his wife Brita and to the family. Bonnie Fackre-Cochise <futureshine@earthlink.net> Krister was a friend to our family — at a time when Cochise was most under duress and we as a family were very stressed. Krister had the courage to be simply himself in visiting Walpole Prison, enduring the taunts of the guards even while he wore his bishop's purple. He shared his kindly love with Cochise in Sousa Baronowski Prison as well as Shirley — at a time when I was unable to visit. This great man walked his talk bringing faith to criminal justice issues not just in public but in private. In doing so, he ministered to me too. Thank you Krister. page 1 · page 2 To: |
