Dennis has been an MP, worked with the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, and was a print and broadcasting journalist. What comes through at Pulpit and Politics is his keen intellect, love of Canadian history and sharp analysis of the intersection of faith in society. Ethical and plainspoken scholarship represents this category well.” — Bene Diction [...] [...] “Dennis Gruending is a man who has worn a lot of hats and his blog Pulpit and Politics took 1st in the category this year.

Pleased to meet you. I looked at everyone's profiles. Blogspot isn't registered in whosis, so ownership wasn't something I can ascertain. When Whatever He Says won last year, I must have gotten a wrong impression from looking at the blog, I thought it was a group blog of pentecostal friends in Ontario who have met up through a church or conferences. I see Marilyn is a journalist in the US, Peter is a bi-vocational Pentecostal minister in Ontario, and most of the contributors also list as non-profit. Belinda lists as working in Ontario , I'm not clear about Susan's profile, (public sector?). Cardinella works in media in the GTA, Joyful Fox lists non-profit etc. For some reason I couldn't get your profile to load and I jumped to a conclusion. The contributors read as a wide age range, talk of families, church... I am sorry, I concluded non-profit meant a church or a network of Ontario Pentecostal or independent pentecostal churches. I was wrong. How can I best correct my mistake to reflect your blog? Hi Meg, congratulations! Pleased to meet you.

I don't know much about you, except what I have read on this post, and I like your style. I was amused, bemused to discover that I am a member of a church group, and a Pentecostal believer. Kind of another version of a familiar amount of being misunderstood. I guess if you read my particular blogs you might figure out that I am an Anglican, ex missionary, therapist in training. It comes through in little ways. Yes, I am charismatic, as in believing in and appreciating the gifts of the spirit. No, I am not a Pentecostal with a capital P, and never could be, as I do not accept their view of the gifts and their stipulation that tongues is a primary sign of the "baptism" in the Holy Spirit. I have spent time visiting in meetings in Pentecostal churches, but am most comfortable with my Anglican roots, albeit in a low key charismatic, evangelical way. I love the Body of Christ, and seek unity, but have my own definite stands on stuff. So I am not offended by your remark, just bemused by the perceptions. I am not sure where everybody who writes for WWHS stands in the church camp. It's really irrelevant to me. Anyway...just thought I would go ahead and comment on your comment...looking forward to looking more at your blog as I get time. The one I list under website here is my own personal blog...not much happening on that now...your comment makes me wonder whether it is good to be more specific about where any of us is at when we set up our blogs...but I enjoy some of the mystery of being discovered..and also of being misunderstood or misnamed at times!! Cheers and congrats!! I like your comments about being in third place and about the blog awards. Since this is all pretty new territory for me, it's part of my education.
