From an e-mail I just received:
It is with great sadness that we announce that Robert Webber passed away Friday April 26. We will be posting details on www.seminary.edu and on the AEF Call web site www.aefcall.org about the upcoming public memorial service in the Chicago area as soon as details are finalized. Please keep the Webber family in your prayers.
I never met him, but I will miss him.
Just saw the same thing. It’s a big loss. Only met him once but not only sharp (intelectually) his “soft” spirit in discussion spoke volumes.

Your impressions match those of others I have heard. I think he has made some significant contributions to the church that we are only now beginning to see the fruits of. I am very much a kindred spirit with what he taught.
I was one of Bob’s students and he was a wonderful mentor. May he rest in peace.
Amen. He truly has become a part of the ancient-future church.
