Henry M. Morris - a tribute | Gish, DT. 2006.
CRSQ 43(1):2-3. CELD ID 20957Abstract Dr. Henry M. Morris, widely recognized as the "Father of Modern Creationism," passed away on the evening of February 25, 2006, in a hospital in La Mesa, California, not far from the facilities of the Institute for Creation Research, which he had founded thirty-six years earlier. Two weeks earlier he had suffered a stroke that had impaired only his equilibrium. During the interval preceding a second stroke, he was as bright as ever but looking forward to his promotion to heaven, which came peacefully. A large crowd nearly filled the Shadow Mountain Community Church of El Cajon for his memorial on March 2. Prominent obituaries appeared not only in the local San Diego news paper but also in many other newspapers in the United States, including the New York Times and the Washington Post. On the wall of his office for fifty years hung a plaque with only two words - "Perhaps Today!"
