Congratulations are in order for longtime TAS
contributor Mark Tooley on his election as
president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. IRD has
been a powerful voice for historic Christian teachings and
responsible political participation within the once-mighty
mainline Protestant denominations. Tooley has been active in the
renewal movement within the largest of those denominations, the
United Methodist Church. Good luck to him in his continuing
efforts to ensure that church ministries are heavier on the
Gospel than the Social.
Congratulations to Mark and to the IRD, which gave me my first
job after college from 1984-86 (back in the days of Penn Kemble
and Diane Knippers, both of happy memory). Man, that was a long
time ago!
Congrats, Mark, on your election as President of IRD. I well
remember those earlier days in Virginia and your efforts there to
inform the conference of what was going on and your subsequent
fulltime involvement.
