I wasn't able to attend the funeral. Both my wife and I had planned to be there, but I had nearly three dozen family members in town from Ohio, Texas and Michigan. We could not get away.
I got to work with Dwight on four different meeting halls. There were lessons about the practical expression of the church I learned from working with him that I couldn't have gotten from a thousand messages.
It is God's mercy that he didn't have to see what so many of the local churches have become.
