On Mortification

A number have been asking if Todd's move means an end to the Mortification of Spin podcasts.  I am sorry to disappoint: since the podcast is almost the ultimate chewing gum and paper clip production, now involving four guys, two microphones, one computer and a plastic table and four chairs in the entrance lobby of Cornerstone Presbyterian Church in Ambler, it looks set to continue.  And in a world where evangelical comment is increasingly censored from within by the humourless and the Top Men, a samizdat operation is unlikely to lose its purpose in the near future.  Of course, now that Todd is a presbyterian, I will not be able to mock him mercilessly for his Schwaermerite credentials but, seeing as he is still only PCA, I can guarantee that the sneering condescension will continue until the denominational affiliation improves.
