I recently learned that my blog has been included in a list of the “Top 50 Lutheran Blogs” compiled by Tim Dalton of TheologyDegreesOnline.com.
I know. I’m as surprised as you.
Dalton’s website, as the name suggests, is intended to help people explore potential online theology programs. But the blog section of his site seems to be devoted to “top X lists”. Other posts include the Top 50 Baptist blogs, Catholic blogs, etc.
The Top 50 Lutheran list includes some heavy hitters in the Lutheran blogosphere (eg, Cyberbrethren), and I’m honoured (if surprised) that someone thought I deserved a place among them. [Alas, it seems to be missing at least one of my favourites, and one far more famous than mine (the Cranach blog, anyone?).]
This is what Dalton has to say about my site:
27. Captain Thin : Be impressed with the musings of this recent graduate who blogs about many subjects relevant to the Lutheran world. He is also a chairperson for the Board of Evangelism, a group that is a part of Lutheran Church-Canada.
I need to point out that the last part isn’t quite right. While I chair the Board of Evangelism in my own congregation (which is a member of Lutheran Church-Canada), Dalton seems to imply I chair a national board.
Still, I appreciate Dalton’s kind words.
