Dear Ms. ___________, I have decided to submit a column to you, for the Statesman to run at the earliest opportunity you have. I have two concerns in doing this, but am proceeding cautiously nonetheless. The first concern is that I do not want you to conclude from this that I have in any way …
Libel Simpliciter
Following an argument by Nick Gier in search of a non sequitur is like following a lit fuse in search of an explosion. And mysteriously, Nick talked the Idaho Statesman into publishing an article under the headline “Neo-Nazi Christians make presence felt again in Northern Idaho.” In the past, when Nick has published his screeds …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day Five
The last day of Trinity Fest was as blessed as the first part of the festival. We were, are, and will be extremely grateful to God for His kindness to us. The day began with two lectures in the morning, and one just after lunch. I began by speaking on Francis Marion, the “Swamp Fox,” …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day Four
I did not post an update on Trinity Fest last night because when I got home I was fried. But it was a good kind of fried. But here it is for you, first thing in the morning. Dr. Lillback was delayed in getting in on Monday, but it was fortunate that his talks were …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day Three
Don’t have much time to write about this because I am tired from the proceedings, and am about to go to bed. The official history conference (encased like one of those Russian dolls inside the larger Trinity Fest) started today at the Kibbie Dome at noon. Great set-up there, and the folks at the Kibbie …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day Two
We are most grateful to God. The day began wonderfully, with a joint worship service of Christ Church, Trinity Reformed Church, and Christ Church, Spokane, along with all the early arrivals for Trinity Fest. The Lord gave us a seven day work week, and each week we have the privilege of building everything we do …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day One
Of course, this is actually the pre-func stuff. Trinity Fest proper starts on Monday, but people are starting to roll in from all over, and the “kick-off” event tonight was the ball sponsored by NSA, what they call their “Windy.” The SUB ballroom was full tonight, with hundreds of people having a really good time. …
Reminder
I want to begin by reminding everyone (again) that the Christ Church worship service tomorrow has been moved in both place and time. We were originally scheduled to be at the Kibbie Dome at 10 am, and we have moved the services to be at the Logos Field House at 9 am. There is a …
Their Little Charade Parade
If the intolerista case against Trinity Fest (and other of our doings in Moscow) were a used sofa, there would be about seven springs poking up out of it. A number of them are in a dither because they have culled from some of my posted comments references to “battle” and whatnot, revealing thereby that …
Black and Tan Is Now Here
About halfway down this page on the right side, you can see the cover of the just released Black & Tan. That book is now available and the good folks at Canon Press are standing by to take your order (1-800-488-2034). Or, if you prefer, click on the picture here and order it on-line. There …
