Jeg kaller ham min venn, selv om jeg aldri m\u00f8tte ham. Men siden februar 1991, da jeg f\u00f8rst h\u00f8rte om ham, er han vel den personen som har har hatt st\u00f8rst betydning for meg teologisk og intellektuelt – og det har vel aldri g\u00e5tt en uke, alle de \u00e5rene, uten at jeg har lest noe av det han har skrevet.<\/p>\n

Jeg var i Portland, Oregon, noen uker i februar 1991 (under den f\u00f8rste Golf-krigen). Jeg hadde studiepermisjon fra min tjeneste som pastor i Arendal Evangelisk Lutherske Frikirke, og \u00f8nsket \u00e5 studere luthersk kirkeliv i USA. Jeg oppdaget da den h\u00f8ykirkelige lutherske bevegelsen i USA, og en person som akkurat hadde forlatt denne, for \u00e5 bli katolikk, Richard John Neuhaus. Noen f\u00e5 dager seinere, i den ber\u00f8mte Powel Bookstore i Portland, kom jeg over et av de f\u00f8rste nummerne av tidsskiftet FIRST THINGS<\/a>, som jeg har abonnert p\u00e5 og lest regelmessig siden da.<\/p>\n

\u00d8kumenisk har Neuhaus ogs\u00e5 v\u00e6rt viktig for meg, og p\u00e5 dennes sida<\/a> har jeg skrevet en del om hans \u00f8kumeniske initiativ «Catholics and Evangelicals Together». Han d\u00f8de alts\u00e5 i dag (etter \u00e5 ha kunngjort sin alvorlige sykdom for en m\u00e5ned siden), og den kjente John Allen skriver om ham<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, a leading voice of Catholic conservatism in America, and one of those rare theologians and spiritual leaders whose influence vastly exceeded the boundaries of their religious community, has died at 72.<\/p>\n

Neuhaus slipped away Jan. 8, shortly before 10 o\u2019clock Eastern time. He never recovered from the weakness that sent him to the hospital the day after Christmas, caused by a series of side effects from the cancer he was suffering.<\/p>\n

A priest of the New York archdiocese and a former Lutheran minister, Neuhaus was best known to society at large as an intellectual guru of what came to be known as the \u201creligious right.\u201d … …<\/p>\n

Neuhaus converted to Catholicism on September 8, 1990, and was ordained a priest one year later by Cardinal John O\u2019Connor of New York. In a letter to his Lutheran friends at the time, Neuhaus said he had become persuaded that the Reformation-era logic for separation from Rome was no longer justified, and that Lutheranism no longer saw itself as a reform movement within the broader church of Christ but rather as one denomination among many.<\/p>\n

Given his Lutheran roots, Neuhaus had a lifelong interest in ecumenism. …. ….<\/p>\n

In 2005, Time magazine took the unusual step of including the Catholic Neuhaus on a list of America\u2019s 25 most influential Evangelicals, noting that in a 2004 session with journalists from religious publications, President George W. Bush cited Neuhaus more often than any other living authority.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
