Lady Jane Grey and Reformation Day

For the first time in my annual Reformation Day series I am going be delivering a biographical sketch of a woman. Having already taught on Calvin, Luther, Zwingli and Hubmaier, I thought it would be great to see what role women played in this movement of God.
A month or so ago I emailed my friend Michael Haykin to ask his suggestion on who that study should be on. His reply? "Oh Lady Jane Grey. No doubt about it."
So I did what you are about to do and ran over to Wikipedia to find out who that was!
After lots of reading I cannot wait to share her life with the folks at GFC on Sunday night. I will try to post the paper here afterwards if I can. I have a terrible time posting Word files to this blog though.

Stumping Haykin

Some of the people I love in this world are the faculty and staff of Toronto Baptist Seminary. It is an honour to teach with them and it was a joy to have them to our home last week for our annual Christmas Celebration. The ladies provided us with a wonderful meal and my dear bride made the surroundings warm and inviting (like usual!).
The highlight of the night came when I, the consumate Game Meister, made everyone play my own version of Family Feud. It was a battle of Principals - Team MHaykin versus Team Kwellum! Ah, what bliss!
But the greatest moment of all is captured so wonderfully in this photo taken by my daughter.



Here is Michael trying to form an answer to the following brain-stretching question: "Name one thing you do on vacation." Not only did it take him 13 minutes to form a reply, but he was wrong! Out of all the respondents to my survey, NONE answered, "Visit the cemeteries!!!!"
