“Michael led a life that was so innovative, varied and dynamic that it’s hard to summarise what he did. He was – often at the same time – vicar, evangelist, writer and theologian.”

“Michael Green was God’s incendiary, a fire starter, a man ablaze with the love of God and the Spirit of God, and people came to watch him burn – with a heart, mind and mouth set on fire.”

“Michael was a compelling and consummate evangelist, an example and model to all of the joy and energy that living and loving the gospel bring to proclaimer and listener,” Archbishop Welby said. “He served the Church locally, nationally, and internationally through his ministry of communication in speech and writing. As the Church, we are deeply grateful for his tenacious ministry.”

The Rt Revd Dr Steven Croft, the Bishop of Oxford, said, “Michael was a giant of his generation, known and loved by many around the world and an evangelist to the last. He inspired and encouraged several generations of clergy and bishops – including me. I first heard him preach on my first Sunday as an undergraduate in St. Aldate’s over 40 years ago. Michael’s words then were: “I only have one life and I want to live it all for God” have stayed with me through the years. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.”

“… I learnt from Michael’s commitment, energy (which I think might have made him difficult to live with at times), humility, and his willingness both to trust others and to see them grow into fruitful ministry for themselves – as well as his unwavering commitment to seeing people come to faith. ”
