Accepting Evangelicals
Death of Accepting Evangelicals Founding Member: Brenda Harrison
We are sorry to have to announce that our wonderful friend and AE founding member Brenda Harrison passed away early on
24th February.
She had been battling with cancer for such a long time. Her partner Pam stated "[Brenda] has had such a long and painful
struggle with this illness. She is at peace now. Many thanks for all the support and prayers from our friends."
Brenda was very enthusiastic about Accepting Evangelicals from the very beginning. She appreciated that for the debate on
homosexuality to move forward in the church it was necessary to provide a place where Evangelicals could affirm gay and
lesbian people and yet still be faithful evangelicals.
Despite her illness, Brenda continued to take a deep interest in the cause of gay and lesbian affirmation to the very end.
Brenda was a real inspiration to us and will be sorely missed. She served us all well and encouraged us to stand up for ours,
and other people's rights. May we be inspired by her memory to stand where she stood!
A fellow founding member, Jeremy Marks put it well when he said "Brenda Harrison began her new life with the Lord this
morning".
May we all pray for her partner Pam that she would be upheld and comforted at this awful time. May the sweet memories of
their lives together strengthen Pam as she comes to terms with the loss of Brenda.
