Colin Hart, founder and director of the Christian Institute, has died suddenly of a suspected heart attack, aged 60.
In a letter to its supporters, acting director Ciarán Kelly wrote: ‘It is with a heavy heart that I am writing to let you know that our director and brother in Christ, Colin Hart, has been called home by the Lord to be with Him in glory.
‘We deeply mourn this great and unexpected loss. But we do not mourn as those who have no hope (1 Thess. 4:13). Rather, we give thanks to God for a servant-hearted man who devoted his life to the Christian Institute in the service of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
