Today at the McAfee School of Theology, I sat by the daughter-in-law of WEH. Dr. Hull is Theologian in Residence at Mountain Brook Baptist Church and Research Professor at Samford University. He was also Dr. Claypool's best friend.
I learned that he has been diagnosed with the highly degenerative disease, ALS (aka Lou Gerhig's Disease). At age 78, he is past the typical age to be maligned by the illness. This past week he was moved to the first floor of his house as he can no longer get to other floors. This especially significant as his library is on the third floor. He is spending a great deal of time writing while he can. Please keep this Baptist legend in your prayers.
