The Sola Panel is dead; long live the Sola Panel! Tony Payne

Tony Payne

Regular Sola Panel readers will no doubt have detected a little slowness and quietness over the past six weeks or so. We’ve been a bit light on the posting. There’s a few reasons for this, but the main is that we’ve been gearing up for a major change that will take place on Thursday, 1st September.

On that day, the new online home of The Briefing will go live. The Briefing is published by Matthias Media, the hosters and sponsors of the Sola Panel, and we are praying that the new Briefing site will turn out to be a really significant hub for Reformed-evangelical thought and discussion. We thought that the logical thing to do was to take the Sola Panel blog across to that new site. So as of next Thursday, we’ll be closing down ‘solapanel.org’ and redirecting all traffic to matthiasmedia.com/briefing.

We’re also going to change the format of the Sola Panel slightly. As of next Thursday, there will be six regular panellists: four from Aus (me, Sandy Grant, Lionel Windsor and Jean Williams), one from the US (Marty Sweeney), and one from the UK (Richard Perkins). We’ll each have our own ‘page’ or blog, on which we’ll pop things up at a pretty regular clip. We’ll interact with each other’s posts and with reader’s comments as we do now.

Other current Sola Panellists (like Mark Baddeley, Scott Newling, Gordon Cheng, Peter Bolt, etc.) will continue to contribute in the main Briefing content panel, as they are able.

So to our many readers, this is not the end, but a re-location! We still love the five ‘solas’ of the Reformation, and we still want to promote a Bible-driven passion for theology, holiness and gospel ministry. Please come and visit us at our new home: matthiasmedia.com/briefing.

Hi Tony

Looking forward to what is to come!

Will we be able to access the archived material on Sola Panel?

Thanks Di

Hey Tony,

Sounds great mate! Look forward to the new hub. Praying it will buld the church faithfully.

Blessings,

Marty.

@Di,

I’ve been working away on the new site. Yes, we’ll be porting over the archives as quickly as we can manage, but they won’t all be there immediately. It’s high up on the to-do list though! When they get there the SP articles will be searchable, along with the archive of Briefing articles.

Sam.

Hi Tony,

Surely the last SP word belongs to an athiest of some renown, Douglas Adams ...

“So long, and thanks for all the fish.”
