We sadly share the news of the passing of Dr. Wilbur Washington, a 1952 graduate of New Brunswick Theological Seminary.  Dr. Washington served as a congregational pastor in Illinois, California and New York, a professor and chaplain at Central College in Pella, Iowa, and professor at NBTS from 1980 to 1985. Wilbur served as the first African American President of the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America in 1988-1989. Dr. Washington, with his wife Marie, also served a number of congregations as an interim pastor in his retirement years.
