In Memory of Glen Stassen

Today, all those who fight for peace, all those who follow the way of Jesus, lost an ally and a mentor.

After a long battle with cancer, Dr. Glen Stassen passed away today in Pasadena, CA. Dr. Stassen was a professor at Fuller Seminary, Christian ethicist, activist, and developer of Just Peacemaking — a proactive third way approach in the volley between pacifism and just war theorists.

His friend — and coauthor of the seminal book, Kingdom Ethics (2003) — David Gushee penned a tribute, writing:

For most of us who grieve today, however, Glen will be remembered as the paradigm of how one serves as a teacher-mentor. Teachers teach, of course. But Glen taught as if everything he said mattered immensely, which it really did.
