Dan Heap

Dan Heap: For over three decades, his no-nonsense share-the-wealth theology and pacifism elevated activism and gave texture to the social change cause in this city a legacy that endures to this day, according to NOW. The bicycle-riding theist with the oversized glasses and an ever-present beard was no warm-and-fuzzy. He was stubborn to a magnificent degree and Its not fashionable to use the word adays, even in the party he devoted his life to, but former NDP MP Dan Heap, who died Friday, April 25, was a socialist. As an ordained Anglican priest, in the Social Gospel tradition, he had an urgent mission to build the kingdom of God on earth, and he and his wife, Alice Heap, who died in 2012, crafted out of this a way to live with extraordinary meaning.
