in New York City, died Friday morning at home after three-year bout with pancreatic cancer. He was 72.

But Keller was passionate about evangelizing to people in cities, and his ministry would go on to help start 1,000 churches in 150 other cities around the world.Keller became an evangelical Christian in college, and he was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in America in 1975.
Keller was quick to point out that Christianity did not fit neatly into a two-party political system. Though he eschewed the bombast of a culture warrior, many of his views on hot-button social issues — same-sex marriage and abortion — remained conservative but nuanced.
