Correction
In the October 1995 issue I quoted something from The Vine And The Branches, identifying it as “a publication of ELCA conservatives.” A reader has called to my attention that this is wrong information. The editor of The Vine And The Branches is Dr. David Barnhart. Dr. Barnhart was once a member of the LCA, but never of the ELCA. He is currently a member of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations (AFLC). I am sorry about the misinformation.

In the 1996 Daily Bible Reading Guide, under “January 21, 3rd Sunday after the Epiphany,” the correct reference for the reading in the Gospel of Mark is chapter 1:14-20.
