[Dave Roberts]

Good insights on religious liberty.

Oh and by the way Noah is the most popular male name in Belgium in 2006 (Mohammed is 10th); Nathan most popular in 2007 (Mohammed 7th)

Belgians obviously can't get much of anything right.

Where does Santorum stand on the death penalty? (For non-Muslims, anyway...)

RE: Definition of "Mainline" Protestant Denomination

I'd always heard this term defined by church history profs as relating to those groups who can trace their origins directly to one of the specific theological groups which emerged directly from the Reformation, Lutheran, Calvinist, Anabaptist and Anglican, as well as Separatists from the Anglican church which would include Congregationalists, Methodists and the original Baptists in America. Groups that split and splintered off of those are not part of the "mainline" of reformed theology, since they often are the result of the blending of two or more theological groupings.

In recent years, denominations which have aligned with the National and World Council of Churches have been defined as "mainline."

But from what I've read of early Providence Baptistry, Williams left after a few months but provided occasional pulpit supply for some years to come.

Good question, Ed. I don't recall my source, and I certainly don't recall how well sourced it was. If I had, I certainly would have provided it.

Good chat on this already going by Tim Dahl in CBF forum of this site
