[Hello to Dave H]

Dave,

Great to have you with us. Some of us are not only ex-Calvinists - if anyone here has never been a Calvinist, please would you make yourself known to the appropriate authorities (i.e. Josh)? - but (if you're counting from admission to the Lord's Table, as I'm guessing you are) have been Lutherans for minus 25 days. Top that :-)

(My wife and I are due for admission into membership on 4 July - I'm trying to think of a witty way to tie that into US Independence Day, but failing. Weirdly, that actually means that our younger son will have been a Lutheran for two weeks longer than us - he's due to be baptized on 20 June!)
