I know many of you know Rendal from a past forum. He died early this morning.
"My uncle Rendal G Rutledge passed away about an hour ago.
If there was ever anyone in my life that carried the example of the passion, talent, entrepreneurial drive, and the fortitude to see things through even in the toughest times, my goofy, always smiling, always happy uncle Rendal was that man.
He was so adorably eccentric, and I had great respect and love for him because of it.
He was one of the few people I knew who could play any instrument in front of him, and play it skillfully. If he didn't know how to do something you would never know it. He embraced technology and used it to his benefit to get his message out.
He saw a talent and a passion in me long before I ever did, and he believed in me and supported my whole life.
A songwriter, a publisher, a teacher, an educator, a performer, a radio host, a television personality, a videographer, an archivist, a comedian, a fisherman, a father, a pastor, a lover of souls, and a great man.
He always adapted. Always learning, always pushing, always smiling.
I wish I had known him better."

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Oh no! Praying for Norwich Tabernacle and the Rutledge family! Another soldier has gone home.

I use to chat with the man long time ago. I did enjoy some of his songs.
