Father Neuhaus died of cancer today.
Neuhaus and Robert Wilken kicked Otten and Marquart out of the student newspaper at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. Neuhaus became well known for editing the Lutheran Forum Letter, which became more conservative as the LCA became more radical.
We corresponded for a period of time and met at the Ad Fontes Conference in York, Pennsylvania. He became the best known convert to Romanism. Others, like Wilken, have followed.
Neuhaus was a caustic critic of the Church Growth Movement, calling it "tacky." He was talented and gracious, so it is a pity that he abandoned the confessional standards of his father.
