I've known Avery Dulles as a friend and then as godfather to my son for more than forty years. His theological works were extraordinary. But, what was more extraordinary was his humanity. He relished others for their failings as well as their successes. He was a marvelous racounter and an engaged listener. He cared deeply and did not judge. And, he had a warm sense of humor as well as a way of making himself both a model and a regular human.
