“Moore College gives profound thanks to God for the life and ministry of Dr Richard Gibson, Principal of the Brisbane School of Theology, and before that a member of the Moore College Faculty for twenty years. Richard died suddenly last week.

Richard’s ministry touched many people. He was a compassionate pastor and a highly effective preacher. His sermons in the College chapel, not least his long series on 2 Corinthians, remain in the memory of many who heard them. His lectures in New Testament Greek were equally memorable, including his impersonations of Nana Mouskouri, the famous Greek singer!

Richard’s friendship remains cherished by a very large number of people serving Christ in a wide range of ministries around Australia and across the world. Many of the current Moore College Faculty were taught by Richard and there are still members of the Faculty who worked alongside him. …”

– Many ACL members will join in giving thanks to the Lord for Richard Gibson.
