MB leader stood out as preacher

By Celeste Kennel-Shank

Mennonite Weekly Review

Marvin Hein, considered one of the greatest Mennonite Brethren preachers of his generation, has died.

Hein, who died Jan. 5 in Fresno, Calif., at age 82, was a pastor and a leader in Mennonite World conference and in the MB conferences in North America.

"Marvin was a craftsman when it came to his writing and his sermonizing," said Ed Boschman, executive director of the U.S. Conference of MB churches.

He was also deeply pastoral, Boschman said.
