In choosing a template, the one styled "Orthodox" was most reflective of what our congregation is about. The ad comes as a fixed component of the template. I figured people could surely by books and gifts at worse places.<BR/><BR/>They'd have to offer ten or more different templates if they were gong to cater to Lutherans.Fr. Jon M.

Thanks for the making me smile.<BR/><BR/>Also, thanks for your recent comment on Gottesblog in which you quote Khomiakov on the notion of "authority." I found it helpful and instructive. I used that word a bit loosely myself recently. I think I will take your advice and try to read some of Khomiakov.Chris Grindstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116346384634632540noreply@blogger.com
