Dick Lucas at 100: ‘Transforming preaching’

In the Lord’s providence, Dick Lucas turns 100 today.

At Evangelicals Now, Robin Sydserff shares the gratitude many feel for Dick and how the Lord has used him.

“This September will see Dick Lucas’ 100th birthday. As Director of The Proclamation Trust (PT), a ministry started by Dick in 1986, it is my privilege to write something to mark this milestone, though on behalf of countless others in the UK and around the world.

Dick eschews praise. He is a humble, godly man who has assiduously pointed away from himself to Jesus. A suggestion to call the new PT building at Elephant and Castle ‘Lucas House’ was quickly voted down. Instead ‘Proclamation House’ was chosen, reflecting the ministry, not the man. …

Dick’s open-handedness and collaborative spirit, extended beyond bringing Anglicans and Independents together in the UK to reach across the world. [including Australia!]”

And from St. Helen’s Bishopsgate –

“Wishing Dick Lucas a very happy 100 birthday today!

We are so grateful to the Lord for Dick’s many years of faithful gospel service both at St Helen’s and far beyond.
