On April 22nd, Dan passed away. His life and ministry were interwoven in the history of the Metropolitan Community Church of Washington, D.C. and
the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches.
His legacy and inspiration live on in so many of us.
This blog is offered as a place to celebrate Dan's life and memory, and as holy space to share our grief.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. listed 3 key dimensions of a complete life: 1. self-acceptance, development of one's personal resources, and doing life's work "so well that the living, dead, or the unborn couldn't do it any better." 2. "that there is nothing greater than to do something for others." 3. the quest for the divine, "We were made for God, and we will be restless until we find rest with him."
I am taking comfort knowing you are resting in Peace and Joy!
I found it both comforting and irritating ... that there wasn't a single question, on any issue for which Dan didn't have an answer. Not only an answer ... but THE answer. And he was always willing to be sure we knew what he wanted done ...
Yes, he was generous and could get anything accomplished ...but in these last years he began to prod us to do it ourselves ... Do it ...but, be sure to do it his way :) WWDD ... what would Dan Do? that will be the question we ask for each decision we face for a long time!!
