Here are the nominations, in alphabetical order, for Theologian of the Year.
1. Angloid
Nominated by Chorister: "Angloid doesn't post in Kerygmania so much as the others nominated. But IMHO sometimes the best theology is posted on some of the other boards, such as Purgatory or All Saints. This post is not theology of the highbrow sort, but is rather theology on the ground, of the people, born of experience."
2. Anselm
Nominated by Grits: "Anselm's posts are always very solid, very scriptural in nature, presented in a straightforward and -- again -- kind spirit. He strikes me as someone who has truly studied the scriptures for himself, and not just taken someone else's thoughts as his own."
3. Freddy
Nominated by Grits: "Although his faith is somewhat different from many here, Freddy presents a succinct and understandable viewpoint of his beliefs, and he ALWAYS does it in a kind and loving manner. He appears to be a man who truly loves the scriptures."
4. Nigel M
Nominated by Jahlove: "For erudition without pomposity or stuffiness, Nigel gives his thoughts and exegeses in a way that frequently sheds a new light on things often taken for granted, as in this example."

Fresh from toiling over a hot experiment, the Mad Scientist walks up the red carpet leaving fluorescent green spots behind him.
"Ladies, Gentlemen and the rest of you lot. It is my pleasure to announce that we're awaiting a special guest to join me in revealing the Theologian of the Year."

*mutters* - they'd better be special, if they're going to make us wait this long.

Sorry. If it ain't wearin' a stethoscope, I tend to forgit the "Dr." part. I did however make delicate reference unto his very special ness, tho.

I figure if I spot someone carrying a thermonuclear device under their arm and they ask to be addressed as Dr, it's in my best interest to comply. Besides, there are more than just medical and scientifical doctors out there, there are even doctors of theology! I wonder if our winner of Theology of the Year is one.

Sheep3, idly nosing around hoping to find more spilled champagne, startles at the words "awesome sauce" and then bolts.

Ah, our special guest has arrived.
I'm so glad you could make it. I reckon that your first appearance in the Nativity Play was one of the most profound works of theology the Ship has ever produced.

Hearing Dr Cresswell's voice, Sheep3 stops her headlong rush to escape, turns, and ever so nicely trots onto the stage and up to the podium.
Baaaaa.
*jingle*
Sheep3 gazes adoringly at Dr Cresswell. Actually, at his tweed coattails.

It's good to have an international theological celebrity with us. Even if not as big a celebrity as Rev Gerald Ambulance, who we understand is unable to join us due to a prior appointment to bring enlightenment to the heathen masses of Africa.
It's time to get on with the business and open this gold envelope before it gets eaten.

Applauding Angloid, the Mad Scientist steps off the podium carefully avoiding the holes in the red carpet where the green fluorescent goo had dropped earlier.

![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) I'm overcome! Many thanks everybody. Perhaps the Ship isn't as erudite a place as I thought. But if I'd stirred myself I could have identified several more worthy winners.

Doublethink feels duty bound to try to tempt the theologian from his calling.
That's a fantastic win Angloid, would you like to come share a bowl of fruit - and unlock a few theological mysteries with me sometime ...
