Gerhard O. Forde, 77, a Lutheran theologian who taught for 30 years at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, died August 9 after a lengthy battle with Parkinson's disease. Forde was one of 17 veteran leaders in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who in March signed a statement of "pastoral and theological concern" urging the 2005 churchwide assembly not to adopt a proposal allowing some ordinations of gay and lesbian pastors.
The measure was defeated. "His ability to speak not only to fellow scholars but also to general readers in such books as Where God Meets Man" was cited as a model for fostering "a culture of theological wisdom" by Jonathan P. Strandjord, ELCA director for theological education.
