On this blog in history: October 2007

Continuing this series of retrospective posts, there’s rather a gap after May 2007; the one post worth noting from June, 1 Timothy and the misdirected conscience of the West, is one I actually reposted in full not that long ago, and after that one the summer got very busy (both in town, and in my search for a new call). It was October before I got posting again.Madeleine L’Engle, RIP
