[edit] An Invite to join Novels WikiProject

Hi, you are cordially invited to join the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels". We make no length distinction so all narrative prose fiction is of interest. This includes Novels, novellas, novelettes and short stories. Articles about the works themselves and the forms and genres.

As you have shown an interest in The Pilgrim's Progress we thought you might like to take an interest in this well established WikiProject.

We look forward to welcoming you to the project! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Believer's Baptism

The term believer's baptism is appropriate even without quotation marks because it indicates the emphasis laid on personal belief as an a priori condition for valid baptism according to the traditions that practice it. Infant baptizers, on the other hand, either deny that an infant can believe (Presbyterians) or that they need to believe in order for the rite to be valid (Lutherans, etc.). Luther discusses this idea at length in his Large Catechism, sections 52 through 63. Eugeneacurry 19:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

The phrase remains in itself a POV and should continue to be set off with quotation marks. Infant Baptism is also a "Believer's Baptism" and to say it isn't is pushing an Anabaptist POV.--Drboisclair 14:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christianity and alcohol

You may be interested in Christianity and alcohol. Indeed, I'd appreciate your Lutheran eye checking over it. :-) --Flex (talk|contribs) 19:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for alerting me to this.--Drboisclair 20:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
