About David Owen & Owen Legacy Project
David Glen Owen (1936-2021) died in March 2021 after a 60-year career as a prophetic Methodist minister. His impact in Indiana since 1971 is significant—in religion, in art, in public discourse and policy, in writing, and in human welfare, equality and justice. He was a true voice for good in the service of God. That voice must be heard by future generations—that’s the goal of the Owen Legacy Project.
