I have already asked DrSteveJ to be the official Thread Pope of the "Great Reformed Ping List" (and though CCWoody does not know it, I have already volunteered him as "Chief Archivist" -- hello, Woody, surprise surprise!!)
I think that DrSteveJ will make an Excellent Thread Pope... as a diligent 4-Point Amyrauldian Calvinist, I think that DrSteveJ strikes a very nice balance between the Episcopalians and the Lutherans and the Presbyterians and the Reformed Baptists and the Independent Congregational Calvinists... come one, come all!!
But I must plead with Pope Piel DrSteveJ -- we cannot wait forever for a former Encyclical.
With his permission, I am prepared to advance the "Great Reformed Ping List" on my own -- reserving, of course, the finest accolades for the Amyrauldian Tradition of Puritan Robert Baxter and our own dear Pope Piel!!
Say the word, DrSteveJ. As an Ecumenical 4-Point Amyrauldian Calvinist, you enjoy the respect of all Reformed Episcopalians and Orthodox Lutherans and Covenant Presbyterians and Protestant Congregationalists and Independent Calvinists together.
Jean Chauvin and I don't actually need you to call together the Dutch Reformed and the Presbyterians -- we can accomplish that on our own.
But who will speak to the Reformed Episcopalians, DrSteve? Who will speak to the Orthodox Lutherans? Who will speak to the Reformed Baptists and the Congregational Calvinists?
YOU enjoy their respect.
So... you wanna make something of it? (in the best possible way?)
If so... let us know.
Minister of Diplomacy,
