Death announced of The Rt Revd Dr Karowei Dorgu

The Bishop of Southwark, The Rt Revd Christopher Chessun, has announced with great sadness the
death of his colleague, The Rt Revd Dr Karowei Dorgu, Bishop of Woolwich. Bishop Karowei died
peacefully after a long struggle with his health on Friday 8 September in the presence of his family
at King’s College Hospital.


And I heard a voice from heaven saying, ‘Write this: Blessed are the dead who from now on
die in the Lord.’ ‘Yes,’ says the Spirit, ‘they will rest from their labours, for their deeds follow
them.’ (Revelation 14.3)


Loving God,
who bring us to birth, hold us in life
and takes us through death to new life in you;
embrace our brother Karowei,
your child and servant, our brother and bishop,
who has died in you and lives for your eternity.
Comfort his family, especially Mosun, Timi and his twin sister Collette;
hold us in our grief
and give us thankful hearts
that we have known and loved
one who followed you
with humble thankfulness
and a generous spirit
and showed us the pilgrim path to heaven
which he now treads with Jesus Christ,
your risen Son, Our Lord.
Amen.


Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord
And let light perpetual shine upon him.
May he rest in peace
And rise in glory.
Amen
