I don’t know him well and have only met him a few times, but Dick Lucas has had a great impact on me….not least the encouragement that he is still going strong at 100! This is a video we made when he preached at St Peters..Apparently it is no longer available on YouTube, so I am just reissuing it.
I know that Dick had an enormous influence on Tim Keller and many others.
I have a few anecdotes I would love to tell – but perhaps they should wait until another day….
I was deeply moved when he came and sat beside me in Glasgow at a conference and said “dear boy, I’m so glad to see you are still alive”! ” Before going on to offer some other words of encouragement and challenge – but they shall remain private!
I would say that many of my views on evangelism and church and preaching have been influenced by him. A gracious and Godly man….
