, 23:08, 9 April 2009→Calling for an editorial meeting... : )
PS: The other day (in one of our dialogues) I denied being a "Harnackian." Shortly after I posted that, I was thunderstruck by the realization (previously unconscious) that I, in fact, am a thoroughgoing Harnackian in two respects: (1) he is really the single most influential of all Christian theologians on my own life and thought, and (2) like Harnack, I am always in quest of the "kernel" of everything. I suppose the reason this has gone unrealized for so long is because way back in my early studies, Harnack sort of unconsciously became a lens through which I subsequently studied everything else. I was never looking '''AT''' the lens, just '''through''' it.

Hello David-How great to known what you love and how it relates to others!
Do I sense you may have been searching for some aesthetic/editorial parameters by your choice of images? Nevertheless, I appreciate your thought and would only encourage you to continue as you see fit. As such, it may be that the article on Harnack should be retitled as you have proposed to signify an original work that is a reflection of your own appreciation for Harnack's contribution(s). It could be linked, as we did in previous pieces, to a more 'generic' main article. What would you really like to do because I sense that will be the greatest contribution you or anyone else can make. Looking forward--rdavis 23:08, 9 April 2009 (EDT)
