					<description><![CDATA[    I could do a whole post on pet peeves about drivers in this town,  but I will simply lead with a few of these and then move on to other issues Firstly, somehow it appears that Lexingtonians have not learned how to use turn signals, particularly for right turns. I cannot tell you [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Q.  What was the motivation for writing this kind of detailed study of early Christian theology from the 2nd to the 8th centuries? When I was in seminary, the classic text book for patristic theology was J.N.D. Kelly’s Early Christian Doctrine. But that was written back in the 70’s. Much scholarship has been published and new insights [&#8230;]]]></description>
