In this article, the author reflects on the influence of Randolph Crump Miller (Randy) on himself and on the field of religious education. According to the author, his experience with Randy, who passed away because of cancer, was that of a partner, a thoughtful and gentle guide, and fellow learner, who was as interested in his subject and his thinking as he was his own. It was recognized from the beginning that the author did not agree with Randy on some issues, but Randy spent as much or more time trying to understand and encourage the author's thinking as he did telling the author his own. It is well known that Randy was first and foremost a theologian, and secondarily an educator. Indeed, much of his profound influence on the field of "Christian education" from the 1950s to the 1980s came from his ability to speak a sophisticated theological word that was also educational to religious educators who rejected any theology that was not liberal. Randy's theological position was grounded in biblical and theological sources, but also deeply formed by two other realms--personal relationships and contemporary philosophies. Randy will be missed. His contributions, the gifts of his abundant life, and the vital relationships he formed were grace to everyone.
