You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

Joel--thanks for the update.
Mike--our prayers are with you and your family. I'm glad you had a better day.
Shame really. If Michael's sense of humour was effected by the illness it may have improved!
Thanks for the update.
Mike, we're all glad to hear of your improvement but we're also praying that you don't be generous by sharing your bug with the rest of the family.
Many Blessings,
Duncan, Alison, Evie and Ella
Joel:
Thanks, this is great news. We have been and will continue to pray for Mike and his family.
Tell him to get well soon. James Crossley simply can't just be left up to his own devices! :)
That's euangelion! Take it easy, Mike. You're in my prayers.
Thanks Joel.
Mike, we'll keep praying.
BTW the festschrift was temporarily titled
"A Red-Head Bloomed in Dingwall: Heterosexual Readings of Early Christian Writings in Memory of Michael F. Bird, RIP." Crossley had agreed to write a chapter entitled "Why Q is not Queer". Kloppenborg signed on for, "But Q2 was Queer". Jamie Grant agreed to write "The Testament Where God Shows up in Person: One Hundred Theses on Why the New is Better than the Old". Andrew McGowan is ruminating on the proposed title, "Baptist is Best".
