[Oe List ...] Services for Kjell Knutsen

[Sherwood Shankland via OE]

Greetings to the Knutsen family network :-) Kjell and Marginelle converted their parsonage in Petalling Jaya, Malaysia into the KL House, where in 1975 I joined Dick and Gail West, Titus and Augusta Jayasakera, and others in a place where we operated as the Order Ecumenical under close watch by the Malaysian government. Our weekly Order Report arrived after a few days delay due to censorship with phrases and paragraphs blacked out. Never a dull moment in Southeast Asia...Kjell was in Klang, pastor of the Methodist Church there, and was our steady House Church celebrant. He and Margie were great hosts for a new arrival to Asia, sharing in-depth historical background, current trends and lots of contacts in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. The International Training Institutes were a staple program of both 6 week and 3 week formats in Penang, Singapore, Bandung among other locations. Eunice and I met at Area Council meetings and on our visa turn-around trips between KL and S'pore. Kjell had a calming presence that calmed our anxieties and a spirit of adventure that pushed us into action. Thanks, Kjell for the grand adventure of your life and a vocational path that showed us all how to weather the storms. Rest in Peace, my friend and Journey on...Our love and admiration for the whole Knutsen clan! Eunice and Sherwood

>From Marie Sharp: 

Linda Knutsen has sent word of the death of Kjell Knutsen (father of Lester, Reinard, Andrew, Ray, and Svend). A memorial service will be held in Boise, Idaho with their entire family gathering. The family would appreciate reading stories and condolences from the ICA/OE community during the service. Would you please post Linda's email on both the OE and ICA List-serves? 

Grace and Peace, 
Marie Sharp 


Hi Marie, 

Neither Andrew or Reinard are on the ICA list-serve, so I wonder if you would make an announcement there for us? The simplest for you would be to just link to this website that Svend (Kjell's youngest son) created: http://kjellknutsen.com . 

The service will be Sunday, February 18 at 2pm at Hillview United Methodist Church, in Boise. Please ask everyone to send their stories and condolences to Andrew at ack2.trailhiker at gmail.com . 

Thank you *so* much, Marie! 

With metta, 
Linda
