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.

Congratulations on this new appointment. Calvin would be so proud of you. May God bless you and help you in these times that truly do try our souls.
