A respected evangelical leader has passed away.CBN reports: "He (Stott) influenced Christians worldwide through his preaching and writings. He authored 50 books during his lifetime.
Stott was ordained by the Church of England in 1945 and served at All Souls Church in London for more than 60 years.
His ministry spanned the globe with a variety of outreach programs."
On a personal note: John Stott was a birdwatcher who also lived the celibate life. Of the latter he said, "The gift of singleness is more a vocation than an empowerment, although to be sure God is faithful in supporting those He calls."
He was also a committed intercessor.

Thanks for including this. This is the first news I've seen of Stott's passing. I remember his name as "John R. W. Stott", it stuck in my mind years ago.
His full name was John Robert Walmsley Stott.
U R welcome, and thanks for mentioning his full name. He lived like the Protestant version of a saint - :)
I had not heard of his passing. I recall reading Stott many, many years ago when I was an Anglican. Though he was low church (while I was high church) I found his clarity of thought and expression rare and admirable.
Thanks for passing on this information.
