‘Patient, gracious’ Roger Forster dies

Roger Forster, the founder of Ichthus Christian Fellowship, has died aged 90.

A husband to Faith and father to three children, he was a well-respected theologian, best known for founding the neo-charismatic Ichthus Christian Fellowship in 1974.

Born on 1 March 1933, Forster was brought up a Methodist, but found that the faith became real to him during his time studying at Cambridge University. He went on to serve in the Royal Air Force for a short time, before serving as a itinerant evangelist.
