First DL in a while, so callers took precedence. Discussed a wide variety of topics, with one half-hour call on King James Onlyism, one call on the distinction between latria and dulia in Roman Catholic theology.

That took me to Irenaeus at one point, which accidentally led me off into Sophia and the demiurge and Gnosticism—but I found my way back
Took a total of three phone calls today, however, the first and last sort of got squished to the ends of the program to make room for a very lengthy discussion with a Muslim caller, Sadiq Abdul Malik from New York. A very interesting hour, to be sure.

Ryan L did not call, but
