Rich Leino New Co-Owner of the Puritanboard

Dear Friends,

As you know the Puritanboard has changed hands in certain instances pertaining to ownership. Up until today, I was the sole owner of the board. However, to keep a perspective that encompasses more than one view in terms of "what's good for the board", and for the exemplary conduct and help that Rich Leino has given as a result of not only moderating on the board, but being the "webmaster par excellance" of the board, I've invited him to be a co-owner of the board. He has put so much into the board overall, that having him as a co-owner is a blessing in and of itself.

Rich, thanks for all your help, and I hope that in future years Christ will be glorified by your continued excellence in both decisions surrounding the board, as well as all those great "upgrades" we keep seeing. All these things continue to make the Puritanboard "the Reformed" chatboard on the net, and someplace that is glorifying to God.

Blessings!

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).
