His example, convictions inspired many.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Ken Garfield
CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ He came to Duke Divinity School in 2002, his larger-than-life presence stirring all who got to know him.
When he died unexpectedly of a heart attack in April, Charles Harris had become more than a student poring over God's word. At age 60, he had become a friend, a mentor and a teacher of the first lesson every Christian must learn.
The title of the sermon that Charles Harris preached on Easter Sunday, two days before his death, says it all: "Good News From the Graveyard."
`A TOWERING MAN'
Harris was one of those second- or third-career seminary students who was thrilled to have found his calling.
Behind him were 20 years in the Marines, including two tours in Vietnam, and a career as a financial planner and broker. Ahead was the promise of finding a church that could use a 6-foot-4 preacher with a booming voice and a lifetime of experience. Having moved with his wife, Phyllis, from Hawaii to Durham, N.C., he was in no rush to get out of Duke. The father of three grown children planned to take five years to earn the master of divinity degree it usually takes his younger colleagues three or four years to earn.
