Passing of Ogbu Kalu

I've just been informed of the passing of Dr. Ogbu Kalu, member of the Society and African church historian. Details are forthcoming. Following is his bio from the McCormick website.

Ogbu came to McCormick in 2001 from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where he had served as Professor of Church History for many years. He is an elder in the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria. He has served as visiting professor at several institutions, including Harvard, Bayreuth, Toronto, McGill, Edinburgh, Pretoria, and the Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Seoul. He has published extensively: 15 books, including Power, Poverty and Prayer: The Challenges of Poverty and Pluralism in African Christianity, 1960-1996 and as editor, History of the Church in the Third World: Vol. III, African Christianity: An African Story, plus more than 150 articles in journals and edited volumes.

For many years, Ogbu provided leadership in theological education in Africa and he is currently the Director of the Christianity in Africa Project. He is married to Dr. Wilhelmina J. Kalu, a child psychologist and counselor. They have four children.
