Patristic Roundup: January 25-31, 2007

Well, here are the offerings for the week that was in Patristics. Enjoy!

Thanks for the link.

If you submitted any of your general interest ecumenical posts to the next Christian Reconciliation Carnival, we'd be glad to link you. Sorry about the plug, just trying to stir up more interest in ecumenism.

Take care & God bless
