Albert Schweitzer was a Renaissance man who basked in the utmost respect of the world’s intelligentsia. Schweitzer had doctorates in philosophy‚ theology‚ and medicine. He was a well-respected author‚ a concert organist‚ and a world authority on Bach. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952. But he left a life of acclaim to pursue the God-given call to treat all life as sacred‚ especially in those places on the fringe in Africa. In what is now Gabon‚ people saw him daily with his stethoscope on a distended belly and heard him nightly performing classical music on his piano. In a time when many people feel small and inconsequential‚ Schweitzer’s life is a testimony to the power of one person’s sacrifice‚ purpose‚ and commitment to treat all God’s creations as sacred.
A learned‚ respected‚ accomplished man leaves a life of worldly success to serve Christ among “the least of these.”
