This past week, Robert Webber passed from this life with the hope of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I first became exposed to Webber's heart and ministry through a worship renewal conference in the late 90's. Having grown up in conservative Baptist churches, Webber's emphasis on an Ancient-Future renewal of worship was both peculiar and intriguing. I have continued to enjoy his articles which he wrote for Worship Leader magazine.
To those of us who did not know Robert personally, he has left a wonderful legacy of reuniting the ancient beauty of worship with the necessarily relevant forms of worship in our day. He has reminded us that we are part of the on going drama that God is working out in His creation for His glory. Robert Webber was a gift given to the Church from God. May his legacy continue to resonate in the worshipping communities of those who love and follow Jesus!
