Best of 2018 Blogging Highlights

Once a quarter, or so, I post on the UCC blog Vital Signs and Statistics, with the hope being to combine some church thinking with some new data or material.

This past year, 2018, I had the best read story of the year.

Also, check out other these entries from the past year..
