Hello,

I just added your blog to my reader. Thanks for setting it up for everyone!

A quick request... could you add the "labels" option to the blog's sidebar? I only see "archives" and "previous posts." But I would certainly like to be able to select by "label" or category to find older posts on certain topics. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Glenn Jones

Greetings,

This is your (y'alls?) blog and your project, not mine. However, I want to share these things:

I'm concerned by your anonymity. I can see arguments both ways on that, but it doesn't help your credibility if you choose to remain anonymous. We Presbyterian/reformed folks do have this thing about accountability. (And I doubt you need to hear any arguments I could put forward against anonymity)

What is your aim? Scope? Cover NAPARC denominations and those closely related? Historically Presbyterian denominations? North American focus? Covering on-the-grounds news and/or the blogosphere? That would give us potential readers out here some idea of what kind of news you're looking for (and whether or not we'd be interested in reading more)

Are you thinking about having reporters on the ground ("embedded?") in the various denominations? Just something to think about.

I believe the ARP is about the same size as the OPC (maybe less interesting news comes out of the ARP). If you're interested, their news is here: http://www.arpmagazine.org/newsupdate.html

I'm glad to see you covering interesting news (and happier stuff than theological divisions) like churches calling a new pastor, but is 2nd Pres that prominent to be mentioned? (and I'm a former Greenvillian, though not from 2nd Pres, and I confess I was interested). If so, then you might want to post this: new pastor called at First Pres Greenville http://www.firstpresgreenville.org/PNCReport61106.pdf apparently a friend of Sinclair Ferguson.

Have you considered Slashcode for your site? http://www.slashcode.com/ If you really take off (and I hope you do) then this might be a good solution and allow for the comments/discussion I assume y'all would want to see. Not to mention an automated news submission tool.

I write these things because I hope they will help. Seriously. I would dearly love to see a journalistic news source that covers the Presbyterian/reformed world and is independent from the denominations.

I sincerely wish y'all the best.

P.S., in the efforts of full disclosure, I was raised in the PCA, went ARP for a while, now back in PCA - and am a ruling elder.

Lee Nickles, Ph.D.

I am delighted to have just discovered Reformed News. I intend to let others know of its existence.
At your site you have a link to Sangre de Cristo Seminary. Are you aware that there is at least one other Reformed seminary in Colorado, New Geneva Theological Seminary?. http://www.newgeneva.org/

Brothers,
Again great stuff! Have you considered reporting on other Reformed groups such as the Reformed Episcopal Church and the Association of Reformed Baptist Churches in America?
Keep up the good work and thanks!

Not sure whether it's the absolute pixel size or the font face or a combination of factors, but at my screen resolution, the main body text at RN is almost illegible. It's not just small...it almost looks like a low-res jpg rather than like text. My monitor resolution is 1280x1024 and I'm using a 17" screen, and I generally have no trouble with these settings unless I'm looking at very small font sizes. Hope this info is of use. Thanks for the service RN is providing!

In Jesus,
