Requiat, the Rev'd John Crocker, Jr.

Johnny Crocker, rector at Trinity, Princeton, while I attended, died on 30 December. His full obit is here.

Johnny had a profound influence on my understanding of how the church engages with the world. He was a civil rights activist, an anti-nuclear proliferation advocate and an advocate for the church addressing the wrongs of society rather than holing up inside the building in prayer.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
