Report on July
Interestingly, July had as many hits as June, even though readership largely went to the beach over the 4th and I stopped much in the way of writing before the month ended. That’s encouraging. Thanks for reading! Here are the … Continue reading
A Question about Congregational Autonomy
I get emails. Here’s one with a very thoughtful question about congregational autonomy – … According to Josephus, there were 100,000 Christians in Jerusalem at the end of the first century (or so I have heard – I have not … Continue reading
