"Evangelical Christianity lost one of its most eloquent and influential voices today with the death of Charles W. “Chuck” Colson. The Prison Fellowship and Colson Center for Christian Worldview founder died at 3:12 p.m. on Saturday from complications resulting from a brain hemorrhage. Colson was 80."

Linda and I were among the many who were influenced by his dramatic conversion to Christ. The beautiful and abundant fruit produced through him was evidence of a real Jesus-follower.
See the nytimes article "Charles W. Colson, Watergate Felon Who Became Evangelical Leader, Dies at 80."
See the Justice Fellowship, which Colson founded.
See his influential book Born Again, which many of us read ate the time it came out. The Body and How Now Shall We Live were important reads for me.
I greatly valued Colson's ecumenical leadership and Protestant-Catholic dialogue - see Evangelicals and Catholics Together: Toward a Common Mission, with Richard John Neuhaus.
