​We’ve had some fantastic conversations on the blog this year, and record numbers as a result. In fact, I’m pretty sure that we’ve got the most thoughtful, respectful, and diverse comment community on the Web. Thanks so much for being a part of it. I have a feeling next year will be even better!

1. November 4: Letter To a Young Calvinist (From a Young Arminian) 
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
