The Lead has learned via email that The Rev. Dr. Marion Hatchett, one of the preeminent liturgical scholars in the Episcopal Church died last night at Emerald-Hodgson Hospital.
Initial reports are that the funeral will take place later this year, timed perhaps so that students and faculty might be able to attend.
Here is a little background about Prof. Hatchett’s life and ministry. He spoke of his experiences in revising the prayerbook and hymnal here in a speech he delivered last year at GTS.
May his soul rest in peace and rise in glory on the last to meet Jesus his Lord and Friend.
