In this edition of a Plain Answer, we discuss a tradition of the Christian church and why it is appropriate for Christians today, to mark time using the Christian calendar. We also note that there is no obligation to do so, and that churches and individuals have complete freedom to chose not to observe the times. We also point out that inevitably, we will be marking time, so why not use a calendar such as the Christian calendar which has been carefully prepared for us over the course of many centuries of Christian experience. Participants: Dr. John Vance, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf
