The Rev. Christian D. Weber passed into the more immediate presence of the Savior, Sunday, October 29, at Salemtowne, the Moravian Retirement Community. He was 90 years old.
Brother Weber was born in Indianapolis, Ind., on May 13, 1927, the son of the Rev. Christian Otto Weber and Dorothy Pfohl Weber. His father and two brothers (F. Herbert, and C. Bruce) were also pastors.
Chris graduated Davidson College, and Moravian Theological Seminary, and pursued further studies at Manchester University, in England. He was married to Dorothy Esta Sohn (d. 2009). Together they served the Oak Grove, Boca Raton (Fla.), and Bethania congregations. Chris conducted the original survey in 1957 for our province’s work in Florida before becoming pastor at Boca Raton. In retirement, he and Dorothy helped in establishing the Palm Beach congregation, and in supporting Christ the King, ECLA Church in Tequesta, FL.
A memorial service was held at Fairview Moravian Church, Saturday Nov. 4 at 11:00 a.m. A private internment will be held by the family later in Boca Raton.
