A blog purpose reminder
Here is a reminder of the purpose of this blog when it was started in March, 2003:
A free floating commentary on culture, politics, economics, and religion based on a passionate commitment to the truth and a desire graciously to refute that which is contrary to it”¦.
Here is the section of the New Testament on which the title is based:
Titus 1:7-9, RSV
Congratulations, Kendall!
It must be such a burden, having to deal with a blog that has a million and a quarter hits. Will the site meter start over from scratch, or will you just keep going?
I notice that Greg made the first comment. And it’s not even 7:00 am LA time. Some people need to find real lives.
What I like so far about the site: When I finish reading the comments and I click back to the main page, it takes me back to where I left off. Before on the old site, I was taken back to the top and had to scroll down again to the next article.
Congrats on the new digs!

William Witt: It is common knowledge in Mississippi that Greg has a clone.

Snarkster, we think Kendall must have a couple of clones. Kendall and Greg partnered together… scary thought! Watch out Anglican world!
Congrats on the new site!
I wonder if Titus 1:9 is included in the new lectionary or do we now know better?
I want to ask a question about about Presbytarian Elders. It seems to me that Elders are chosen by the congregation in a fairly democratic way, for example when a church is founded. But it also seems that there is no way that an Elder can be voted down as a member of Session…ever. Is this really true? What for instance can be done if an Elder “behaves badly” – keeping it general for now, and does a disservice to the congregation? To whom are elders accountable and who can reign in their power?
Also – a technical question: why is my comment in a small side-chain of comments and not on the main blog
Thank you,
Peter
