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!

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@gmail.com . Thank you *so* much, Marie! With metta, Linda — via David Dunn with apologies for the delay. _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
