A Different Moment of Silence
| On this Remembrance Day. Rev. Harry Lehotsky, an incredible man of God who has spent the last 23 years in Winnipeg ministering to and among the poor in the West End, passed away today from pancreatic cancer. |  |
I knew a number of people who worked closely with Rev. Lehotsky, classmates of mine from Providence, mostly. Lehotsky's associate pastor, Larry Gregan, is also an old classmate of Wendy's and mine. They were missional Baptists in a rough area of Winnipeg, and they dug in for the long term.
Rev. Lehotsky had a regular column in the Winnipeg Sun; you can read his last editorial here, written just a few weeks before his death.
The City of Winnipeg is poorer for his passing.
A moment of silence, please, and a prayer of thanksgiving for a man who has just very recently heard the words, "well done, thou good and faithful servant".

I am very saddened to hear that he has passed on - we have indeed lost an amazing man. I read his columns every week in the Winnipeg Sun, and I stood in awe at the difference he made in his community, at his caring. And amazed also that he continued to campaign well into his illness. I can envision the seeds that he planted will produce a plentiful harvest that death cannot steal.
