It is with deep regret that I announce the death of my beloved wife Mirjam Rahel, this evening, of bone marrow cancer. She was a Swiss "farm girl", yet one of considerable sophistication and spiritual depth. At the time of her death, she was an ordained minister, a doctor of philosophy, a co-director of the World Evangelical Alliance's International Institute for Religious Freedom, and an editor of the International Journal for Religious Freedom. She made an important contribution to Mennonite pastoral theology. She was treasured for her ministry in the local Church. We were married 28 years, and have a 24-year-old son, Matthew. We met in 1978, at theological seminary in Switzerland.
