Remembering Charles Harvey Lord | University Church Chicago
As pastor of University Church, I am sad to inform our church and larger community that Rev. Dr. Charles Harvey Lord, pastor of University Church from 1970 to 1989, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 3, 2015. As many of you know, Harvey lived with Parkinson’s and is a courageous example of the force of life.
It is with heavy hearts that we enter this time of mourning. On Good Friday, I ask you to remember a good man, one whose sacrifice and boldness made possible this season in our church’s life and health. In the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) tradition, Harvey is considered by many a mentor and a champion for social justice. Let us keep the Lord family in our prayers.
A memorial service at University Church is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2015, at 1:00 pm. Check here for more timely information. A brief biography of Charles Harvey Lord
