In 2011 The Aquila Report has posted over 2,500 stories. This week we will feature the top 50 of those stories, 10 per day the rest of the year. The top story had over 6,500 hits; Number 50 had 1,179.

We try to average 7 new stories each day, with a large variety of subjects – all of which, we hope, are of interest to those of you involved as leaders and members of churches within the Bible believing world of Reformed and Presbyterian faith groups.

In keeping with the journalistic tradition of looking back at the recent past, we have decided to take a look at the top 50 stories of the year. That’s easy for us to determine – we just count the hits!

We have broken the 50 stories down into groups of 10 to run the five lists on consecutive days during the last week in December. Today we look at numbers 50 through 41.
