Sadly missed
It is with sadness that I report the death of the Revd. Dr David Young who passed away on the 9th February. David was a particular close friend of mine and a disciple in Christ, and I am truly indebted to him for his warmth, advice, and gentle encouragement to me. He was a part of the Springline team and regularly presided at services at Scampton.
I read a passage from Matthew’s Gospel recently, when Jesus was asked by a lawyer, “Which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus’ response was: ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ I think this passage epitomizes David’s values.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Barbara, at such a sad time. She and David shared some wonderful time together and their love for each other was a joy to see.
Barbara is raising money to help Marie Curie Cancer Care. You can find out more here.
