From RNS-Rachel Held Evans, a popular progressive Christian writer and speaker, died Saturday morning (May 4) at age 37 after a brief illness.
Evans had been in a medically induced coma for several weeks and never returned to an alert state.
Writer and collaborator Sarah Bessey tweeted that Evans was surrounded by close friends and family at the end, and the Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber shared that friends were at Evans’ bedside Friday night, offering “our touch and tears and song. I anointed her with oil.”
Her husband, Dan, informed followers and supporters of his wife’s death on her website.
“This entire experience is surreal. I keep hoping it’s a
nightmare from which I’ll awake. I feel like I’m telling someone else’s
story,” her husband Dan Evans wrote in an update on Evan’s blog.
