According to his brother Erik, he died yesterday (Sunday) morning.
He was a minister (most recently at Portland, Maine) but perhaps known equally as well in Unitarian Universalist circles as a blogger. I think of him in that generation of Christian ministers that immediately preceded my own, and who held on when there didn’t seem much reason for trying. I also think of him in that heady Unitarian tradition that values thought and reasoning more than now commonly seen.
His cancer was a matter of record — and I appreciate him carrying us on his journey — but I had hoped he might recover, or at least have more time.
Victoria Weinstein, knew knew him far better than I, has a few words here.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4.7
My prayers are with Rev. Jensen’s family , and friends along with the members and friends of First Parish. In the words of Shakespeare, “Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!”
