As this blog turns three — my thanks! « Churchmouse Campanologist:


Churchmouse Campanologist celebrates its third anniversary on March 17, 2012.

As I celebrate this occasion, please accept my thanks for reading, referring, subscribing and commenting!

Your visits have given me much pleasure as we have commiserated, debated and empathised with each other over not just matters ecclesiastical but socio-political as well.

My readers are a broad church — Anglicans, Lutherans, Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Baptists, Reformed, Evangelicals and secularists.  This is precisely what I had hoped for from the beginning in 2009. Thank you for helping me realise this objective!

Geographically, my largest number of visits are from the US: California (4,700+), Texas (2,900+), Florida (1,900+), New York (nearly 1,900) and Georgia (1,600+). Then comes the UK, with 7,500+ visits, followed by Canada (2,700+), Australia (1,900+) and the Philippines (1,200+). Incidentally, Vatican City has made 62 visits, up from 39 last year.

Thank you also to those who have translated my posts into Spanish, Portuguese, French, Hebrew, Russian, Indonesian, Danish and Arabic.

Special thanks go to my regular referrers, particularly to two clergymen (Lutheran and Anglican) whose perspectives are highly valued, but also to Linda Kimball and Dick Puddlecote — two diametrically-opposed blogs but with some common talking points.

GJ - ChurchMouse has been one of my favorite blogs - ever since I found it. I also enjoy emails from the author. I appreciate his research done on various topics.

I could discuss the Christian faith with one person at Notre Dame, an Episcopalian priest. He made me interested in his denomination and the forces dividing it. At that time, the LCA and the Episcopalian Church were the same size, about 3 million members. Now they are rushing down the same road to perdition together.

Many Episcopalian leaders here have articulated a message that Lutherans fail to offer, one which declares gay advocacy anathema to historic Christianity.
