The co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> @IVMiles (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> @oldlife  (Presbyterian) have returned to campus and are so dedicated to their audience that they carved out time before the semester starts to talk about denominational news.  Summers are when the NBA hosts its championship so that commissioners from confessional Protestant communions  have something to watch after denominational meetings.  The co-hosts go through the round-up of denominational news and even though the Lutherans did not meet Korey Maas explains the peculiarities of Missouri Synod polity.   The hosts also discuss the relative toxicity of David French (who was <a href= "https://religionnews.com/2024/05/15/pca-cancels-anti-polarization-panel-with-david-french-for-being-too-polarizing/"> invited to a Presbyterian General Assembly only to be uninvited</a>) and Carl Trueman who <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/live/_bDBVuHlIAE">drew crowds</a> at an Anglican synod (Diocese of the Living Word). For anyone outside a denomination and feeling a hankering for this sort of Christian organization, Ross Douthat's <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/15/opinion/sunday/save-the-mainline.html"> nostalgia for the Protestant mainline</a> in the United States may suggest the value of such structures.  Yuval Levin's own <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/18/opinion/sunday/institutions-trust.html"> positive estimate of institutions</a> is another reason to consider the superiority of denominations to networks and church-planting start-ups.   Keep an eye out for a live Paleo Protestant Pudcast sometime in September.  Information will be forthcoming (dv).
