Reginald Fuller - A theologian of stature

[Salisbury Journal] 24 May 2007--Many of you will know Dori Rockefeller and some will have attended the course of lectures on the Passion narratives she gave at Sarum College during Lent.

She left to return to the United States just after Easter, earlier than she had planned, to attend the memorial service of Reginald Fuller. A dear friend and teacher, he died at the age of 92 in his home in Richmond, Virginia.

I was delighted and honoured, when preaching and leading a quiet weekend in Virginia a few years ago, to meet this delightful, courteous man, whose gentle, unassuming way belied his formidable learning.

For R H Fuller was, for theologians and clergy of my generation, a name to conjure with in the galaxy of Anglican theologians.
