At the 23th of december 2009 our name giver passed away. We remember him with warm feelings. We remember the things he wrote and said.

It was pleasant to visit Edward. Sometimes conversation were theological. But more often Edward was just interested, as a truly involved human. We remember the softness and kindness he treated each of us with.

We remember Edward. Again and again, in the work that the Edward Schillebeeckx Foundation does, carrying his name. And we are grateful. For his theological legacy, which the Foundation tries to cherish and carry out as good as possible. But above all, we thank Edward for his human-ness, that he was willing to share with us. Dear Edward, rest in peace.
