In Remembrance – Rev. Thomas McKenzie

August 24, 2021 Teer Hardy CGJ Comments Off on In Remembrance – Rev. Thomas McKenzie

Friend of the podcast, Rev. Thomas McKenzie, died tragically Monday morning with his daughter in an automobile accident.

“It is with deep sadness that I write to inform you that this morning, Thomas and his 22-year-old daughter Ella died in an accident on Interstate 40 west of Nashville,” the Rev. Kenny Benge, associate pastor of Church of the Redeemer in Nashville, told parishioners in an email message.

Thomas was on the first day of his sabbatical and was heading to Santa Fe, New Mexico where his daughter, Ella, was a student at St. John’s College. During his sabbatical, Thomas had planned on walking the Camino de Santiago.

Thomas was on Episode 209 of Crackers & Grape Juice.

We ask that you keep Laura and Sophie McKenzie, and the Redeemer Nashville congregation in your prayers as they navigate this agonizing time, joining in prayer:

Most merciful God, whose wisdom is beyond our understanding: deal graciously with those who mourn, especially Laura and Sophie. Surround them with your love, that they not be overwhelmed by their loss, but have confidence in your goodness, and strength to meet the days to come, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
