The Death of the Custodian

About the Author

William Carl Ketcherside (May 10, 1908 – May 25, 1989) is best known for his efforts to unite Christians who are divided because of their view that spiritual fellowship is synonymous with endorsement of doctrinal interpretations. He was convinced that true followers of Jesus Christ are constitutionally one; not called to unity so much as called to maintain the unity they already have due to the common life they share with the Holy Spirit and, thus, with each other. Those who have the same spiritual father are necessarily brothers and sisters of one another, whether they know it or not. It is because of much confusion about the nature and work of the Holy Spirit that Ketcherside considered a clear understanding in this regard essential to understanding the nature of unity and spiritual fellowship among Christians. At heart Ketcherside was an ecumenist who believed visible unity among believers to be the key to converting the world to Christ. Ketcherside was a prolific writer and a gifted speaker. He spent the better part of his life residing in St. Louis, Missouri, from where he edited a monthly journal, Mission Messenger, from 1940 through the end of 1975. He traveled extensively, speaking often on university campuses across the U.S. and at numerous conferences in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Brazil.
