Blogging is an incredibly immediate medium (if those two are allowed to go together). I love opening up my bookmarks or feed to see what pearls of wisdom and learning the blogging Fathers have dispensed for the day. Good blogs really do shape your thoughts. And yet I know that even if I recommend a blog to someone, it is highly unlikely that they will delve into the archives, to learn from the ancient blogging traditions. So in the spirit of church history, and preserving the memory of those who wrote and thought and wrestled so many weeks before us, Saturday will from henceforth be archive day. We will be mining the rich seam of thinking- pre 2008.

Patrogistics? Patrilogistics? Perhaps there are the blogging apostles and the sub-apostolic bloggers...
Who was it that said 'tradition gives a voice to the largest silent majority - the dead'?
Chesterton I think, but I'm not sure. Do archives count as death?
Patblogdgery? Ante, Nice and Posting Nice Fathers?
PostY2K Fathers?
