From Joseph Patrick...(really Gerry Milligan)
Friends on Baptist life boards...I have finally retired and my wife and I have moved to the Portland, Oregon area. We have yet to find a Baptist church in Portland, but are still visiting.
An old saying..."confession is good for the soul" but probably BAD for the reputation...My name is Gerry Milligan and have used the pseudonym of Joseph Patrick (one of my grandsons) to prevent any retaliation from the IMB as I was an active IMB missionary when I started posting. Then I was on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, which is becoming more fundamentalist by the day (how else can you rationalize a "young earther" in the religion department?).
David Flick knew my identity and William Thornton suspected it, but I do apologize for the subterfuge. As I am technologically challenged, I will continue to sign in as Joseph Patrick, but will always try to sign off with my name.
I enjoy being able to interact with all of you, either actively or as a lurker.
