Andrew, I enjoy your "one this day" posts, and I suspect many others do also, even thought they don't always reply. Thanks.
 
Thanks, Tim! I appreciate the encouragement. Church history is, to me, a reminder that God sovereignly works in the affairs of men as He advances His kingdom in the earth. The events of one age are often lessons for us today.
 
March 1, 2006 marked the 460th anniversary of the martyrdom of George Wishart.
