Margaret, you and David certainly have been profound influences in my life, each in your own way. I only learned today of David's death.
While I was in seminary he did a workshop for us at Crescent Hill Baptist Church. It was in that time that I began to experience hope that "gospel" really does not mean disapproving demand that my fundamentalist upbringing had taught, but does in fact mean “good news.”
I am forever grateful for him, and for you.
Peace.
