Of course I only saw her for a very short time. But the implication that he had a close brush with death at the hands of the Anglican equivalent of that monk from The Da Vinci Code, can now be firmly put to rest.Samuel Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348284792143801649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10098115.post-72279451090108326182007-03-22T16:32:00.000+11:002007-03-22T16:32:00.000+11:00That sounds serious Sam B.

At the moment I only have Calvinists, and they're all to evangelical/pragmatic/moderate to divide from with any vigour. The prospect of having members stolen doesn't worry me much either.

I'm particularly keen to see the theology students go up against some of our resident evangelists. <BR/><BR/>On different note, I wonder who will be taking most of these courses, (and what they are, for that matter)?
