In the process of starting up, we found another list of names in the online Christian newsletter MORNING STAR. These two efforts are now collaborating and the results are heartening. Those interested in participating in the world wide prayer network should contact: ever.amen@aol.com. Prayers to be placed on the list go to this address also. Those interested in Morning Star should contact patoby@aol.com. This is not the source address for the publication, but he is my contact and can direct your requests. Many thanks to those who have responded. Special thanks to those who have undertaken to expand the network by acting as distributors of the request list in their area. By next month, we will have expanded into the hobbyist network Fidonet, adding another 16,000 potential nodes world wide. Technical problems with the gating (non-delivery or non-receipt) to aol.com can be directed to me at this address. -=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=- >%> Dennis McClain-Furmanski internet: mccla_d@cs.odu.edu <%< >%> Clinical Psychology AOL: Dynasoar01@AOL.COM <%< >%> Old Dominion University New Beginnings @ Serenity Lodge <%< >%> Norfolk, VA, USA, Earth, etc Chesapeake, VA 800-444-9166 <%< -=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=--=<+|+>=- Path: igor.rutgers.edu!rutgers!jvnc.net!darwin.sura.net!paladin.american.edu!auvm!WAYNEST1.BITNET!LMENDELS From: LMENDELS@WAYNEST1.BITNET (Lon Mendelsohn) Newsgroups: bit.listserv.christia Subject: NEW LIST: QUAKER-L Quakers/Religious Society of Friends Message-ID: Date: 5 Aug 92 12:39:15 GMT Sender: CHRISTIA@ASUACAD Reply-To: st@eniac.seas.upenn.edu Lines: 32 Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU Comments: Resent-From: Lon Mendelsohn Comments: Originally-From: "Stephen W.

We use the national electronic mailing networks to distribute messages to subscribers across the US and Canada, and also through Europe, Australia, and other places. All messages are approved by a moderator and are private in the sense that they are sent only to those who subscribe. SDAnet exists for the following purposes: 1) To encourage contact between SDA's on various public campuses, industry, and Adventist campuses. 2) To supply information on what Seventh-day Adventists believe. We have the SDA "Statement of Fundamental Beliefs" on line, and anyone is welcome to ask questions or discuss what they mean. 3) To discuss practical issues of relevance to the Adventist subculture and the world in general. 4) To allow for announcement of gatherings and conferences of interest to the college and university community. 5) To discuss issues in human relations. This list is not an official arm of the Seventh-day Adventist church. While I, as moderator, am a member of the church, I hold no official position within the church and draw no salary from it. The names "Adventist" and "Seventh-day Adventist" are registered trademarks of the General Conference Association of SDA, and should be used with care. Opinions expressed on this list will not necessarily reflect the official position of the SDA church. It is my hope, however, that they will reflect the Christian ideals of love and courtesy. Inflammatory comments will therefore be either heavily edited or rejected. Long articles should be broken into segments of 200 lines or less. SDAnet is not intended to duplicate the general discussion for which specific public forums already exist, such as abortion or evolution. Some government and military sites restrict participation in private mailing lists. If you are in doubt you should check with your system administrator to make sure it is all right. SDAnet management assumes no responsibility for illegal subscriptions. Posts from SDA-L, a fellowship and support list for Adventists in the college community, are forwarded to SDAnet. Any replies to these posts should be sent directly to SDA-L@LLUVM as the moderator will not forward any replies to these. All questions about SDA-L should be directed to Enoch Hwang at La Sierra University UNCEHW@LLUVM.Bitnet. Anyone may post to this list, and anyone may subscribe.

The stack is very similar to the Bible Promise Books you find in Christian Book Stores except in the form of a Hypercard stack. It is recommended for System 7 use but will run under earlier systems. The only disable feature under System 6.0x will be balloon help. I have place the stack at sumex-aim.stanford.edu for those of you who have ftp privileges. If you cannot get to it there let me know and I would be happy to send the stack to you via e-mail or on a floppy. I might tell you the stack is about 1.3 meg so if you want it via e-mail then you had better have a big buffer. Just wanted to let you all know for those who are interested in this stuff. By the way, the stack is Shareware and the price is whatever God would have you to send me or whatever you can afford. God bless you all. I love you.

Copt-Net Digest is the main forum for communication between Copt-Net members, who are committed to the Orthodox Christian faith of the Coptic Church and are interested in its service. Copt-Net Newsletter is an electronic publication that is intended for a more diverse audience of other Christians and non-Christians who are genuinely interested in the faith, teachings, and traditions of the Coptic Orthodox Church, and the history and culture of the Copts. Disclaimer ---------- Copt-Net is not an organization or an association. Its Digest and Newsletter are not professional magazines. Opinions expressed on Copt-Net belong to those individuals voicing them. In particular, they do not represent in any way or form, directly or indirectly, the positions or opinions of the Coptic Orthodox Church, its hierarchy, or its lay councils. Any member of Copt-Net who uses Copt-Net's name or Logo to suggest or mean the contrary is violating this Charter.

Any current members of the VISION mailing list who have not yet received mail from the new moderator are kindly asked to contact him so as to find a working mail path. NOTE The description below is an attempt at codifying something that is really much looser and simpler than it seems from what I write below. Simply put, a forum to share various visions and related things was needed, and the VISION list is it. The stuff below is there to read only if you like things more precisely defined, but the list is really quite informal, loving and Christian. WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE VISION LIST IS The list is intended primarily for Christian discussion about visions, prophecies, private revelations, but also about miracles, spiritual experiences and related gifts of the Holy Spirit. This discussion ranges from the sharing of any such experiences, to the interpretation of the meanings of the experiences shared, to general discussion about related matters. Occasionally the discussion will range beyond the literal meaning of the charter as given above, trying, however, to maintain a loosely defined spirit of looking at the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The discussion is generally kind and charitable, without much arguing. The dictum below should be kept in mind. If I have the gift of prophecy and, with full knowledge, comprehend all mysteries, if I have faith enough to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. (1 Cor 13:2) The list was formed by the previous moderator to counter the lack of a forum for the sharing of visions and private revelations. There seem to be many more people receiving these than most people think. THE SPIRIT OF THE LIST The spirit of the list should come from the Holy Spirit, and thus should be a spirit of love. WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE VISION LIST IS NOT The list is not really intended for general discussion of general religious questions, interreligious controversy, or for interdenominational debates going far beyond the charter as outlined above. In practice there is little need to enforce this, as the membership understands the vague charter of the list very well. WHO IS INVITED All who are interested, from whatever point of view, are invited to join. Not all those on the list are gifted with visions or prophecy or miracles. Some have discernment, some have understanding, and some have gifts not listed anywhere that only God knows. Not all are called to share, or to write. As St. Paul writes, there are many gifts and one body (cf. 1 Cor 12). Membership is not restricted; Christians of all denominations as well as nonchristians are invited; the only requirement is the ability to receive e-mail! Nonetheless, the focus of the group is certainly Christian. The membership list is confidential and the moderator does not release it. Postings are generally identified by the name of the author without any e-mail address. Completely anonymous postings are also accepted; the poster should simply write a note at the beginning of an article requesting anonimity. PAST DISCUSSION Lately, the list has been rather quiet with sparse traffic. Past discussion has included sharing of visions together with occasional discussion of their interpretation, sharing and interpretation of symbolic dreams, discussion of various prophecies, messages in the Hebrew Bible, and a myriad of other topics. HOW TO JOIN Just send a message to pruss@math.uwo.ca asking to be added to the list. Your name will not be released to anyone, but you will be added. You can, of course, leave at any time by sending a message to the moderator. SERVICES PROVIDED A limited archiving service has just been started and the archives are virtually empty as yet. Requests for articles from archives will be accepted by the moderator. The moderator also routes e-mail to anonymous posters, while preserving the anonymity. The moderator is also always available for private discussion of Christian matters, prayer support, or whatever else the Holy Spirit may be needing done.

At the moment, most of us are lesbigay Episcopalians, but we certify neither plumbing nor creed. We welcome others: LUTI is a catacomb of our own for lesbigay Christians and our friends (plus lurkers who want to inform themselves with primary evidence). LUTI is not a venue in which to defend lesbigay Christians' right to exist. That hetero conversation belongs, if anywhere, elsewhere. Nor is LUTI the venue in which to fight UNholy doctrinal wars. To participate, send a one-line message to lcrew@andromeda.rutgers.edu saying 'Sign me up for LUTI.' As soon as possible, I will add you to the list and notify you how to post directly to it. If you introduce yourself, I will forward your signon message to others on the list; otherwise, your identity will remain confidential (but not rigorously so).

Path: christian Newsgroups: soc.religion.christian From: sdeering@athena.mit.edu Subject: Net.Prayer...an email based prayer group... Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu Dear Fellow Christians, My name is Scott Deering and I am the moderator of Net.Prayer, a prayer group operating via electronic mail. I am writing this to find out if anyone would be interested in joining with us in praying for the needs of the Body of Christ and the world on a weekly basis. We are made up of about 30 people from a wide variety of backgrounds ranging from grad students to professional people who love the Lord and feel the need for consistent prayer so that the Lord's will is fully done in our lives and in the earth. Most of the members live in the United States with a few people from other countries. We share prayer requests through e-mail and I send out a digest each week to all the members listing prayer requests, testimonies, etc. All that you need to do is set aside the time in your schedule each week to pray on a consistent basis for the prayer requests and share with us the results as God answers them. We also have a companion mailing-list known as net.fellowship which provides a safe forum for believers to discuss matters of faith and anything else related to one's Christian walk. If you are interested in joining the prayer group, just send me a note via e-mail with a short introduction (at sdeering@athena.mit.edu) and I'll add you to the mailing list. To join the fellowship mailing list, you can contact Tim Kuehn at timk@tdkcs.waterloo.on.ca. May God bless you as you seek His face in prayer... In Christ, Scott Deering Net.Prayer Moderator sdeering@athena.mit.edu <>< "The Lord is my strength, and he will make my feet like hind's feet, and he will make me walk upon mine high places."

The Bible has been translated into around 270 languages, with the New Testament available in a further 600 languages approximately. Work is in progress on another 1200 languages, which leaves around 4000 languages with no scripture at all. It is currently estimated that at least 1000 of these 4000 languages need the Bible. Given the amount of work that goes into each translation (over 20 years for a qualified translation team), there is much work still to do! The aims of the mailing list are to: 1. to stimulate awareness of SIL in the academic community, 2. to encourage christian academics to be involved in the work of SIL, 3. to provide technical or academic assistance for SIL members, 4. to distribute SIL software in the academic community.

While I am aiming it mainly at Jewish and Christian mysticism (my own principal areas of interest and experience), the list is open to people of all faiths--in general, mystics seem to get along with each other pretty well, whatever the particular religious frameworks we happen use. Because of the ecumenical and informal nature of this list, dogmatic pronouncements, and citations of authority in general, are not appropriate. This is not to say that dogma and doctrine are taboo topics for discussion, but I will not tolerate arguments of the form, "you're wrong because XXXX says so." If you want to prosyletize or show off your knowledge of your favorite proof texts or teachings, there are plenty of opportunities for it elsewhere on the net. This is a forum for "comparing notes" and sharing experience and insight. For example, Christian, Jewish, or Sufi members should be prepared to see pagan topics discussed, and vice versa. The list is not moderated--my only control will be to maintain the membership roster, and to remove troublesome users if they cause others to complain a lot. I am a calm, reasonable person with a lot of patience, and hope this will never be necessary, but I will do so if the occasion arises. In any case, requests to be added or dropped should be sent to: mystics-request@nic.inter.net Note that this is an alias pointing at a real person, not a LISTSERV robot :). Messages meant for the list at large should be sent to: mystics@nic.inter.net Messages will be archived, although at the moment there is no way to automatically request a copy of the archive. You can, however, drop a note to mystics-request@nic.inter.net if you really want a copy.

LISTNAME ADDRESS DISCUSSION/MEMBERSHIP DESCRIPTION IVCF-L LISTSERV@UBVM.BITNET Open to Christians, many topics discussed (social issues, Bible studies, prayer requests, etc.) CHRISTIA LISTSERV@ASUVM.INRE.ASU.EDU Open to anyone with an interest in discussing issues related to Christianity. According to a friend, this one generates lots of contacts with people who are non-believers and gets "lively". (bit.listserv.christia on tin) BSTUDY-L LISTSERV@UTARLVM1.BITNET Open to Christians. Scripture, prayer requests, etc. Recent discussion has touched on the Scriptural role of women in church and views of abortion. BELIEF-L LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET Personal philosophies discussion. This one is all over the board, orthodox Christianity to agnostics to Eckankar. Sounds like lots of amateur philosphers and those interested in philosophy of religion.

EKKLESIA DZEIGLER@MAGNUS.ACS.OHIO-STATE.EDU Renewing the Church fellow- ship, sometimes practical, sometimes idealistic NUREL-L LISTSERV@LISTSERV.UCALGARY.CA Academic discussion group about the development and growth of new religions.

READ ME! READ ME! Stored in the e-mail Library at ASU (Arizona State University) there are Files that may be of interest to various readers. I append below, as a shameless piece of self-advertisement, a list of Files written by me, or responding to me, or written by someone else but submitted to the Library by me. The number given after the name of a File is the number of lines of text (most of my texts are 68 columns wide). To order a file, such as (for example) SOLA SCRIPT, send the message GET SOLA SCRIPT to one of the following addresses (if one doesn't work, try the other; if neither works, ask your local network expert): LISTSQRV@ASUACAD.BITNET LISTSERV@ASUVM.INRE.ASU.EDU This can be sent as an interactive message (if your installation has such) or as an ordinary mail message. If the latter, please omit the subject line. To obtain a complete list of files in the Library, ask for the file called LIBRARY CATALOG. And now to my (partial) list of files. Those who have seen the list before will note the recent addition of the two files INFANCY PART3/4 and the four files with first name POLITY. =================================================== * *By James Kiefer * JOHN PART1 804 Is John's Gospel first-hand? INFANCY PART1 744 The Infancy Narratives in Matthew and Luke. (Introduction, the Star, the Census) INFANCY PART2 880 The Infancy Narratives in Matthew and Luke. (The Massacre of the Innocents) INFANCY PART3 733 The Infancy Narratives in Matthew and Luke. (The Geneologies) INFANCY PART4 674 The Infancy Narratives in Matthew and Luke. (The Virgin Birth; The Early Travels) (The preceding five essays argue that the Gospel of John shows signs of being the work of an eye-witness, and that the Infancy Narratives in the first two chapters of Matthew and Luke conform very well with the historical data we have from other sources.) SERMON MOUNT 376 Structure of the Sermon on the Mount (The preceding Essay states a thesis taken from Michael Goulder: that the Sermon on the Mount is largely an expansion of, and commentary, on the Beatitudes.) LORDS DAY 528 Replacing Sabbath (Saturday) with Lord's Day (Sunday) (The preceding Essay argues that the observance by Christians of Sunday as a sacred day began in New Testament times.) CHOOSING BARABBAS 594 Responsibility for the Crucifixion (The Gospels report that a Jewish mob demanded that Pilate crucify Jesus. Does this mean that the Jews are corporately responsible for the Crucifixion?) JESUS SONOFMAN 250 Jesus and the title "Son of Man" (Jesus is said to have referred to himself as "the Son of Man." What did such a title imply?) FAITH KINDS 924 Meanings of the word "faith" distinguished (Faith is said by Christians to be a Virtue. Faith was once defined by Archie Bunker (with no intention of disparaging it) as "Believing things that no one in his right mind would believe." This Essay (originally an address to an Objectivist Study Group, and not revised for the general reader) undertakes to reduce confusion and breakdown of communication by sorting out various kinds of "faith" and discussing the the rational acceptability of each kind.) BORN OFWATER 188 Baptism, rebirth, and John 3:5 (When Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Unless someone is born of water and of the Spirit..." does the "water" refer to Baptism?) TRINITY ANALOGY 364 On the Trinity (This essay offers two analogies, one from geometry and one taken from Dorothy L Sayers' book THE MIND OF THE MAKER, dealing with the experience of the creative artist, both intended to assist the reader in understanding what Trinitarians are talking about.) SOLA SCRIPT 945 On the Sufficiency of Scripture (The Risen Christ told His followers to "make disciples...teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you." Let us call those teachings that He wanted them to hand down to all subsequent generations of Christians the Tradition. Is the Tradition completely contained in Holy Scripture, or must we learn some of it from other sources? What do early Christian writers have to say about this?) TONGUES NOTRANS 163 Speaking in Tongues (Uninterpreted) (Some Christians, in worship, occasionally burst into utterances that no one claims to be able to interpret. Are these a gift of God, or the work of the imagination, or neither, or both?) NONXIANS SAVED 246 Can non-Christians be saved? (Jesus said: "No one comes to the Father except through me." Does this mean that only those who have heard of Jesus and believed that he is the Son of God will escape damnation?) DEFINING FUNDIES 234 What is a "Fundamentalist"? (Some speakers use the word "Fundamentalist" not as a description but as an insult. Does the word have a useful meaning?) CSLEWIS BOOKS 170 List of books by C S Lewis, with descriptions (A partial list of books and essays by a well-known and prolific Christian writer.) ISALLAH GOD 273 Do moslems worship the true God? (Is it correct to say that Christians and moslems (lower case because that is their usage) worship the same God? What does the Bible say about similar questions?) FORESEEN CHOICE 428 Divine omniscience and human freedom (If God knows today that Jones will steal tomorrow, how can Jones have any choice in the matter?) * *James Kiefer's series on Genesis (preferably read in sequence) * GEN01 RUFF 1363 The Problem of Evil in Genesis 1-11 Three views of Genesis 1 GEN02 RUFF 1106 Darwinism and science GEN03 RUFF 971 Darwinism and Christianity GEN04 RUFF 1747 Fall and Atonement Theories: (1) The Penal Substitution Theory (2) The Beau-Geste Theory GEN05 RUFF 468 (Hebrew Sacrifice: an interlude) GEN06 RUFF 1155 (3) The Pattern Theory GEN07 RUFF 878 (4) The Existential Theory (5) The Conflict Theory (The preceding Essays are rough drafts (soon, I hope, to be revised) of a projected series on the Book of Genesis. They consider various ways of understanding the Six Day Creation account in Chapter One, with a few comments on whether Darwin's work has made it impossible to take Genesis seriously. Next, they consider the Fall as related in Chapter Three, and different Christian understandings of how or in what sense the human race is fallen in Adam and restored in Christ.) * *From Jon Loux * GEN03 CRITIQUE 369 Critique of James Kiefer's GEN03 File. GEN04 CRITIQUE 453 Critique of James Kiefer's GEN04 thru GEN07 Files. (I asked Jon Loux what he thought of my Essays. He told me. Enough said.) * *By James Kiefer on Christian Creeds * CREED APOSTLES 109 Background of the Apostles' Creed CREED NICENE 377 Notes on the Nicene Creed CREED FILIOQUE 713 "And from the Son" in the Nicene Creed CREED CHURCH 158 The Church in the Nicene Creed (The preceding four Essays deal with the two best-known of the ancient Christian Creeds, or summaries of belief. They discuss the circumstances of writing, the intent behind some phrases that might not be obvious to the modern reader, and similar questions.) * *Works by various authors, submitted by James Kiefer * POLITY PREFACE 2060 Preface to Hooker's POLITY POLITY DIGEST1 3319 Summary of Hooker's POLITY: Part 1 of 3 POLITY DIGEST2 3831 Summary of Hooker's POLITY, Part 2 of 3 POLITY DIGEST3 3453 Summary of Hooker's POLITY, part 3 of 3 (The four preceding files are taken from the classic work ON THE LAWS OF ECCLESIASTICAL POLITY, by Richard Hooker, one of the greatest theologians and scholars of the English Church, who died in 1600. The immediate stimulus for the work was the claim by some English Puritans that the form of Church Government recently adopted by the Church in Geneva was ordained of God, and that all Christian Churches must adopt it straightway. However, Hooker also discusses the role of Reason in discerning the will of God. The first file contains the Preface to the work, here given as Hooker wrote it, plus the first page of the main work. The remaining three files contain a summary ("The Cliff Notes Version") of the Preface and the Eight Books of Hooker's opus. Although Hooker severely criticises what he takes to be the errors of Roman Catholicism, the then reigning pope, Clement V, said of Hooker's book, "it will endure until the last fire shall consume all learning.") HOOKER LEARNED 2044 On Justification (and Invincible Ignorance) by Richard Hooker (Richard Hooker once preached a sermon in which he referred to Christians living in obedience to the Pope before the Reformation, and said, "God, I doubt not, was merciful to save thousands of our fathers...." A Puritan preacher disagreed, saying that if someone does not believe in Justification by Faith, then he cannot be justified by faith, and therefore cannot be justified at all, and therefore must certainly be damned. This sermon is Hooker's reply.) JOHN PART2 519 On the Authorship of the Fourth Gospel By George Salmon, FRS (Taken from Salmon's HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW TESTAMENT, this presents Salmon's arguments for supposing that the Fourth Gospel was written by the Apostle John. (See also JOHN PART1, by James Kiefer) LION LAMB 1454 "The Excellences of Christ" (Rev. 5:5-6) a Sermon by Jonathan Edwards (Most Americans today who have heard of Edwards at all have met him only in a course in American Literature where the Puritan writers were represented by an extract from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," a sermon about damnation, by Jonathan Edwards. Actually, that sermon is not at all typical of Edwards. This one is. It is a great work. Another great work by Edwards (too long for the Library) is his analysis of free will, and whether it is incompatible with determinism. My determinedly atheistic philisophy advisor, Herbert Feigl, considered it the definitive work on the subject. One (non-Christian) historian calls Edwards the greatest intellect of the Western Hemisphere before 1900. Make his acquaintance! DOUBTS NAPOLEON 1170 "Historical Doubts... Bonaparte" A Classical Case Study on Skepticism By Richard Whately (1820) (In the early 1800's, largely under the influence of David Hume, many writers began to argue that there were insufficient grounds for believing that Jesus had ever existed, let alone performed miracles. Richard Whately replied that a consistent application of their arguments would show that there were insufficient grounds for believing that Napoleon Bonaparte had ever existed, let alone conquered Europe.) JOSHUAS LONGDAY 152 Alleged computer proof of Joshua 10 expose by an Evangelical magazine of a persistent legend (There is a story making the rounds that a NASA computer, programmed to calculate the past workings of the solar system, encountered a snag that could be removed only by taking into account the occasion when God prolonged the day at the prayer of Joshua. This article from an Evangelical Christian magazine shows how this story originated.) JERICHO DIGGINGS 212 Archaeology and Jericho, summarized from the Biblical Archaeological Review A few years ago, a major argument against the historical accuracy of the Scriptures was the conclusion by the distinguished archaeologist, Dame Kathleen Kenyon, based on her researches, that there had been no walled city at Jericho at the time the Israelites entered the country. Since her death, her notebooks have been studied by others, and a quite different conclusion seems warranted.) ================================================ That completes the current list of Files by me in the Library at ASU. Remember, to obtain a list of all Files by all writers, ask for the file LIBRARY CATALOG. I urge everyone to sample the contents of the Library, and to consider contributing to it.

Please send coorespondence to the email address listed at the end. THE CUMORAH eJOURNAL: The following is an introduction to a new electronic journal of Mormon thought called the Cumorah eJournal. This introduction will briefly discuss the purposes, structure, and function of the Cumorah eJournal. If there are any questions, suggestions or requests, please feel free to contact the editor-in-chief at the email address at the end of this introduction. Please distribute this introduction to all your friends on the net. THE PURPOSE: 1) Why another Mormon Journal? Today in 'Mormondom' there is are large number and variety of L.D.S.-related periodicals ; Dialogue, Sunstone, Ensign, Exponent II to name only a few. These periodicals already serve a wide variety of purposes. Some are faith-promoting, others deal with scholarly or theological issues, and still others are outlets for literary or artistic expression. One may ask if yet another periodical is needed, and what purpose this journal could serve. It appears that even with this large variety of periodicals and outlets that there is lack of written discussion among Mormons that concerns itself fully with the specific national and international issues that face Mormons today. We have seen a need for discussion on how Mormons, given their faith and doctrine, should respond to these issues. As the church grows and its membership includes increasing numbers of converts from other traditions and cultures, and members are confronted on a daily basis with very specific 'worldly' issues, there is a growing need for dialogue and discussion. The examples of these kinds of issues are myriad. Abortion-rights vs. Right-to-Life movements, 'Scientific Creationism' and Evolution, fundamentalist polemics against L.D.S. belief, new understandings in cosmology, genetic engineering, other cultures and religions, the environment, regional wars, political parties, and gay rights are but a few of the many complex and pressing issues of our day that should be addressed in an L.D.S. context This is the void the Cumorah eJournal purports to fill. Our goal is to publish quarterly a reviewed electronic journal containing articles and research addressing an L.D.S. response to the world around us. The following will explain how we expect to accomplish our goals, what form this journal will take, and information about subscribing, submitting and reviewing. 2) Why an electronic journal? Well, the answer to this question is several fold. First is cost! The cost of producing, emailing, archiving, and publishing an electronic journal is far less expensive than a hard copy one. Since an internet account has been graciously donated and all our services (editors, reviewers and the like) are volunteer, we hope to keep the journal free of charge to all subscribers. Another reason for an electronic journal is the fact that the internet and other such 'information superhighway' type networks are burgeoning. The numbers of net users grows daily, and among them are thousands of L.D.S.. This is a growing audience and an electronic journal is the way to address that audience. We hope our journal will grow along with the net in both size and sophistication. THE STRUCTURE: 1) The Cumorah eJournal is completely electronic. It's articles are submitted and reviewed electronically, and it is sent and archived electronically. This cuts down on cost, makes use of a growing medium, and hopefully quickens the pace of publication! 2) The Cumorah eJournal is peer reviewed. A large group of L.D.S. from all walks of life are our pool of reviewers. To date, we have approximately 20 reviewers on our "staff". They include lawyers, housewives, biologists, philosophers, engineers, doctors and political scientists. They live from Oregon to New York and in between. Each submittal is sent to 2-3 reviewers. Each of these reviewers are chosen by the editor-in-chief based on the topic of the article and the expertise of the reviewers (for example a article on genetic testing is submitted to our doctor and geneticist for review). These reviewers check for factual errors, general quality and relevance. The reviewers then make one of three recommendations: outright rejection, acceptance with rewriting, or acceptance with minor adjustments. Accepted articles are then read by our editors for style and writing changes. 3) The Cumorah eJournal is a quarterly electronic journal. It is published and sent the last of every April, July, October and January. New issues are automatically emailed to subscribers the month of issue and posted to appropriate news services and bulletin boards. In the near future, we will also have an ftp site for downloading current and back issues. 4) The Cumorah eJournal includes four separate sections. The THOUGHTS section includes 2-3 large, well written and researched articles dealing with issues of the day in an L.D.S. context (for example the first issue contains an article on "Scientific Creationism" and L.D.S. theology, and another with one L.D.S. view of gene therapy and testing. The RESPONSES section contains letters from our readers responding to previous articles. The VIEWS section will include articles containing views of non-L.D.S. about the L.D.S. church, theology or culture. These will either be reprints from other publications, or articles written specifically for the Cumorah eJournal. (for example, the first issue contains an research report written by a Baha'i council on the Baha'i view of Joseph Smith and the Mormon church- permission to reprint granted). The NEWS section will include short news items that have to do with the L.D.S. church printed in newspapers and other publications. 5) The editorial policy of the Cumorah eJournal is that all submittals be well researched, thought out, and written. They also must deal with the interface of Mormon belief with issues of the day. We expressly make no ideological or political stance. All submittals that follow the above guidelines will be considered regardless of their political, ideological or theological positions. All opinions expressed in the Cumorah eJournal are those of the authors and not those of the editors, reviewers or the L.D.S. church. SUBSCRIBING, SUBMITTING AND REVIEWING: 1) To subscribe one needs only to send an email to the email address below. In the subject heading type the word 'SUBSCRIBE'. In the body of the email type TSubscribe to Cumorah eJournalU, your full internet compatible email address (NVN, Prodigy, Genie, Compuserve, etc. all have such), and any short comments or questions. Issues will be automatically sent to you quarterly. Please note that some services (Prodigy, others) charge the addressee for email received from outside the service 2) To submit pertinent THOUGHTS, RESPONSE, VIEWS or NEWS items, send submittals to the email address below. In the subject heading, type the word 'SUBMIT' and the section the submittal is to be included. (Example: SUBMIT-THOUGHTS) Or, alternatively, send a an IBM or Macintosh disk (any size) to the address below. Disk submittals should be in either Macwrite, Microsoft word, teachtext, or WordPerfect formats. The submittals will be acknowledged within 7 days of receipt. Articles for the THOUGHTS section must be submitted at least 60 days before the issue date for which it was submitted (though we will consider submittals for unspecified future dates!). Articles must be original unpublished work, from 2,000 to 6,000 words in length, and deal with L.D.S. responses to modern-day issues. Articles dealing solely with Mormon history, theological debates, Book of Mormon studies and the like will not be considered (there are many periodicals for those). We are searching for articles that deal with an L.D.S. response to specific issues that face us today (though we realize that history, theology, the Book of Mormon, etc. will definitely play a major part in that response!) Authors should use the MLA style guidelines (not a criteria for rejection/acceptance). These articles will then go through a process of review and comment by 2-3 reviewers. Authors will not be told who the reviewers of their articles are. Nor will reviewers be told of the author of the article which they are reviewing. This is to insure as much objectivity in the review process as possible. Also, reviewers are allowed to submit (though of course they won't review their own submittals :-). Authors will be notified of acceptance status within 45 days of receipt of submittal. Submittals for the RESPONSES section should be received at least 30 days before the issue date for which it is submitted. RESPONSES should be thoughtful responses to previous articles (TflamesU will not be considered) and no more than 750 words. Submittals for the VIEWS section should be received at least 60 days before the issue date for which it is submitted. VIEWS articles should be thoughtful items that look at Mormon thought, belief, practice or culture from an outside perspective (other faith, secular world, etc.). VIEWS articles should be well thought, researched and written. Though we will accept articles whether favorable, unfavorable or objective views, Tanti-MormonU polemics will not be considered. VIEWS articles can be original work, previously published articles, or reviews of larger works. Original work should follow the guidelines as explained for THOUGHTS articles. The original reference and contact must be sent along with previously published articles so that we may obtain permission to republish. Reviews of larger works must include reference. VIEWS submittals should be from 1000-6000 words long. Authors will be notified of acceptance status within 45 days of receipt of submittal. Submittals for the NEWS section should be received at least 30 days before the issue date for which it is submitted. NEWS items should be no more than 250 words long. NEWS segments should be short recaps of L.D.S.-related items that have appeared recently in the public media(newspaper, broadcast, etc.). The full reference to original item must be included 3) To date, the Cumorah eJournal has approximately 20 reviewers. As stated above, these reviewers are from a variety of backgroundsThough we have reviewers from many professional and educationalbackgrounds, we are in need of more. The Cumorah eJournal needs more reviewers from a large variety of backgrounds (as there are a large variety of issues!). Also, because the Cumorah eJournal is a volunteer organization, we would like to spread the work around as much as possible. If you feel that you could add something to the eJournal as a reviewer, please contact us! To become a reviewer just send us an email telling us about the types of issues you are interested in reviewing and what expertise you have that would help you in reviewing those articles. Expertise can be in the form of education, experience, and/or publications, etc. One does not have to have a Ph.D. to be a reviewer! Reviewers will not be asked to review more than one article per quarter. We will send you a more detailed description of reviewer duties upon request. Remember to put the word 'REVIEWER' in the subject heading of your email. Also, if you have any expertise in English writing skills, we are in need of copy editors to look over and correct accepted articles. Editors will not be asked to edit more than one article per quarter. If you would like to volunteer your services please email us at the address below and include ReditorS in subject heading. THE FUTURE: As the TnetU expands and becomes more sophisticated, we hope the Cumorah eJournal will also. Already we are working on a permanent ftp site for the downloading of current and back issues(by June T94). Our future dreams are high! We already our envisioning graphics, conferences, bulletin boards, and more. But those things are in the distant future. For now our goal is to publish a well written, pertinent quarterly electronic journal that will give Mormons a forum to discuss issues of the day from an L.D.S. perspective. If you would like to help us achieve those goals, we would like your input. So please feel free to comment, or question. Better yet, submit, review or edit for us!

You'll find the KJV translation on CCAT's gopher. The RSV version may be ordered from them, or I can perhaps be persuaded to send it to you if you convince me of your honesty and your intent to comply with the their license agreement. On CCAT's gopher you will also find a Greek/Hebrew parallel text of Sirach. gopher ccat.sas.upenn.edu directory: text libraries/text libraries/KJV Bible or Parallel Alignment If you need further help, ask me. Alex. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- and also from Michael W. Martin (aardvark@ial4.jsc.nasa.gov): The easiest way would be via Mosaic and the WWW Christian Resource page (follow the Catholic Resources on the Net). If you do not have Mosaic, then the CCAT Gopher is one place (ccat.sas.upenn.edu). It has the KJV of the Apocrypha (incidentally the first veriosn of the KJV DID have the apocrapha included as standard) If you want the Latin version (Vulgate) then the OBI Gopher will have it or I can send it to you. If you have any problems getting them, let me know and I will e-mail them to you.

At present, this database contains indices of 11 medieval office antiphoners. In addition to providing the folio numbers of the specific chants, each record includes liturgical information (feast, office, position of the chant within the office) and musical information (genre of the chant, mode, differentia). Each chant is cross-referenced to the corresponding item in Hesbert's _Corpus Antiphonalium Officii_ including a concordance of the CAO manuscripts. The gopher server presents these indices in text and binary formats. A search feature is also provided that allows the user swift access to the information concerning a particular chant in all the sources. In addition, the CANTUS Gopher allows access to the catalogue of the Dom Mocquereau Microfilm Collection of liturgical music manuscripts at the Mullen Library of the Catholic University of America. The CANTUS database is growing. Several sources will be added in the coming months.

Share your experience with subscribers from Hawaii to the Netherlands ! Announce your symposia, training sessions, and other events. Discuss interesting cases. Share your reflections and your resources. Network with peers and announce position openings. This list welcomes both RN and non-RN practitioners, physicians, health ministers, clergy and non-ordained, experts and beginners, and all others interested in religion and health. PNN-L originates from the Parish/Congregational Nurse Program of Saint Francis Hospital of Evanston, Illinois, USA ; however, the list is entirely the sole, personal responsibility of the list owner. ============================================ TO SUBSCRIBE: Type this AND ONLY THIS statement in the BODY of a new message: subscribe PNN-L Send this message to: MAJORDOMO@interaccess.com Please Note: 1.

The list is so named only because, at the present time, it is still the most widely recognized "memory signal" for this particular nursing practice. While "Congregational Nurse" is extant as an acceptable generic (indeed, our own Saint Francis program uses this term locally), it is less familiar internationally. However, this list will adapt to any widely practiced changes in the professional vernacular--perhaps, resulting from dialogue among the growing circle of PNN-L subscribers! ============================================ Dennis Fey, M.M.

I don't believe in God because NOBODY was able to answer a question of mine to my satisfaction. I was hoping that somebody here will. My question is that in the Bible, it states that incest is immoral. Then how in the world did Adam and Eve populate the entire earth????? Please don't answer that God made an EXCEPTION. To me, the word EXCEPTION it self implies IMPERFECTION. Only an IMPERFECT rule requires EXCEPTION. Therefore, answering exception is the same as saying that God's rule is imperfect, and that is the same as saying that God is imperfect. We all know that God, by definition, is a perfect being. So answering exception would be a total contradiction to the existence of God. I would appreciate any LOGICAL explanations. Thanks. =========================================================================== The regulation against incestual intercourse did not appear in the Bible until the Mosaic law in Exodus. There is also a theory that Adam is a race and not a single person--some use the fact that Cain refers to "other people" who would see him and kill him, when at that point only Adam, Eve, and their children would exist if taken literally. Again, though, it's still under debate. If you are interested, my site on the World Wide Web has a link to an extensive document on Biblical contradictions which address some 150 of the most common questions and attempts to answer them in a decent fashion.

It is one part of a interconnected system called Ecunet, which includes nets for 15 denominations. Meetings -- equivalent to newsgroups -- range from Clergy Couples to official denomination news releases to lectionary discussion groups. To contact, call 800 733-2863. To connect, there is a front end program, which costs $50. It automates all tasks, including downloading mail and posts to subscribed meetings. *But* one does not have to have the front end; connection can be made with any communications program. If one is skilled at writing scripts, this can be a very efficient way of connecting. Costs are $11/month, with unlimited connect time for a direct dial connection. A 800 number is available; charges for the 800 number are $12 per hour during prime time and $7 per hour off prime. If you would like more information, email me.

Below you will find the "Guide to Christian Resources on the Internet". The "guide" gets updated periodically, so if you would like to receive "updates" please email me and I will see that you get put on my "update" list (free subscription). Our focus is evangelical and conservative. We are dedicated to encourage fellow Christians on the Internet to the possibilities the Lord is providing for Christian influence. I hope you find the "Not Just Bibles" Guide to Christian Resources on the Internet helpful in your life. I encourage you to pass it on to a friend. Don't hesitate to drop us a line if you have any questions or suggestions. In Christ, Linda Kreitz njb@iclnet93.iclnet.org Gary Bogart, John Brubaker, Linda Kreitz Not Just Bibles..., ICLnet NJB Reading Room ********************* NJBinfo, June 1, 1994 ********************* NOT JUST BIBLES: Not Just Bibles is a number of projects designed to assist Christians and who are interested locate the wealth of Christian resources that are available on the Internet. Other thoughtful inquirers are welcomed. Our main purposes are: (a) to help you locate what we have been able to document thus far, (b) by so doing, to encourage the development of your navigational skills, (c) and to provide support for developing God-given skills to the purpose He has called you. Our name, Not Just Bibles (NJB), reflects our objective to map the var- iety and wealth of projects, information, and research tools that ex- tend far beyond one's initial association of the Internet to "Christian resources": Bible concordance software and online WAIS Bible search utilities. Although these are very important tools that we do report upon to some extent in NJB, our explorations showed us that more re- sources were available, and revealed the need to document them more thoroughly. We are also beginning to realize that Christian sources are developing so quickly that it is difficult for a small team like ours to stay on top of all recent developments. John, Linda and I hope that the exist- ence of NJB projects will serve to give you an idea of what exists, and thereby prove that it is worth the effort to find them. We are con- tinuing our search, and hope that you will become fellow travellers. The NJB Team is John Brubaker, Linda Kreitz, Gary Bogart, and you, our brothers and sisters in Christ. Our resources and our time are focused upon and limited to conservative, orthodox, evangelical Christianity. We have discovered in developing NJB that much more can be accom- plished as a team than can be accomplished independently. We know there is much room for improvement, and that with the help of folks with an eye toward cooperative effort, and a vision for "what can be accomplished", Not Just Bibles will be an accurate and comprehen- sive resource for everyone.

We are very happy to share this important responsibility with Pro-Christ, Balm in Gilead Ministeries, and we are pleased to be affiliated with CRI. CRI is a premier ministery in cult awareness and Biblical apologetics. In the near future we will be establishing a mailing list for potential sub- scribers interested in Rich Poll's BBS-FYI, which details current CRI information. We will be making an announcement when distribution procedures are ready, and publication in electronic format begins. 2...NJB GUIDE, FTP SITES: ICLNET: Copies of the plain text and WordPerfect versions, and also a World Wide Web hypertext format for version 1.20, the current version of NJB, can be retrieved via anonymous FTP at: iclnet93.iclnet.org, in the /pub/resources directory.

And if you're comfortable with setting- up html pages, may we suggest you add a pointer to "christian- resources.html", from your own home-page. 6...EARLY CHURCH HISTORY DOCUMENTS WWW PAGE: NJB has developed a World Wide Web hypertext page with pointers to early Christian documents that are accessible on the Internet, in- cluding Clement I of Rome, Pseudo-Barnabas, Diognetus, Hermas, Polycarp, Ignatius, the Didache, Augustine, etc. This page is available at our home ICLnet directory, file name: christian- history.html. NJB has also developed special html hypertext pages to use in conjunction with Augustine's Confessions, and his theo- logy, Enchiridion ad Laurentium, which are available in the appro- priate ICLnet directory, /pub/resources/text/history/Augustine/... Christian-history.html is designed to use, optionally, with the guide to Christian resources, mentioned above. 7...DIRECTORY OF CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS: NJB's "domain address" directory, lists initial e-mail contacts (post- masters) for Christian universities and organizations that have Internet connectivity. Our purpose is to facilitate contact between these agencies. NJB has had extensive communication with these organ- izations to verify the addresses and determine who initial inquiries should be addressed to. If you wish to contribute information to this project, and know of an organization not currently listed, please con- tact us. The current edition of the directory is located at ICLnet, filename: christian-directory.txt. 8...NJB GUIDE UPDATES, CORRECTIONS: NJB documents are updated approximately every two months.

The NJB Reading Room is our project name for the "/pub/resources" directories at ICLnet's FTP archive. It now includes: .Bible Software FAQ .BreakPoint unofficial transcripts from Chuck Colson, .Christian Research Institute, an extensive collection of doc- uments, including MSDOS and Macintosh versions of their CRI TEXT database, .Early Church History documents mentioned earlier, .Executable Outline Series, .Focus on the Family monthly newsletter, .Johannine Hours and other Taize Community documents, and .Our Daily Bread, from Radio Bible Class, We wish to thank Rich Poll, Brother Roy, David McMeans, Mark Conty, Mark Copeland, Ken Foster, Shawn Abigail, and ICLnet System Admin- istrator Martin Bush for their generosity and industry in making the Reading Room a possibility. Additionally, we would like to thank Steve Neruda and Bob Sutterfield at MorningStar Enterprises, and Tom Dolan and Kenny Kon at Abilene Christian University for invaluable insight and technical help as needs have presented themselves. NJB is actively pursuing development of the Reading Room. These texts are available from various sources on the Internet and elsewhere. We would also like to focus on obtaining permission and archiving texts from Christian organizations that have limited or no access to the Internet. In order to accomplish this end, we need all the help we can get. If you know a well-established organization that may be inter- ested in Internet storage, or people who would like to devote time securing permission and/ or preparing text, we would very much like to discuss the possibilities with you. 10. E-MAIL COMMUNICATION: Should you have questions or comments about Not Just Bibles projects, our official e-mail address is: Not Just Bibles . Please include "NJB" at the begining of the subject line so we don't lose track of your request. If our official address is not working, please feel free to forward your correspondence to Gary Bogart , or Linda Kreitz . Due to a very heavy mail load, we are unable to provide system- specific assistance. We regret that we don't have intimate knowledge of every particular system, network support, and software. Therefore we suggest that those needing this kind of help will find that the most direct and promising line of information is your network admin- istration. We will be happy to provide help when possible, but ask that you first seek your administrator or a helpful friend who are more apt to know how your system works. If there is anyone out there who has the experience, and who would like to use your skills to help others in this regard, be advised that people need your help, and that is "a job in the making." May the Lord bless you in His excellent way.

This is a post to introduce a new mailing list on Penn State's LISTSERV. All you need to do is mail listserv@psuvm.psu.edu with NO subject line, and with the BODY message SUBSCRIBE ELITE Although this mailing list is mainly intended for creating a forum for discussion on conservative-minded values and the refinement thereof, it is open as well to topics relating to Christianity, since following Jesus brings us a proper attitude in life, society and everything (hope- fully and usually). For all those who think they can form an argument over it, my name for the group, ELITE, doesn't have anything to do with any assumption that conservative-minded people are at the top of society. It is simply a name that I picked that came from a personal joke between my friends. I could have named it "COOL" or "AWESOME". It's all the same. Who would be accepted? Conservatively thinking people. I don't intend for this mailing list of mine to be a debating society for maladjusted psychotic sociopaths. The group is for the discussion and enhancement of those philosophies which we hold dear to. So, feel free to join on in!! This is a new list, so it depends on your involvement!! Hope to see you soon!!

As Paul, Timothy and others prepared a pathway for people to follow, the Christian Interactive Network will provide a "link" into the computer world of "cyberspace" as a forum of prayer, information, support, education, and furtherance of the Great Commision. The Christian Interactive Network, Inc. is a pathway ministry focusing on providing a central meeting place for the Christian community and its associated ministries. The ministry is organized as Not-for-Profit 501 (c) 3 corporation, incorporated in the state of Florida. The ministry has three primary focuses: 1. To provide an interactive forum for access to ministries, information and support services. 2. To educate the Christian community about the access and availability of the digital "highway" system as it exists today, and the benefits and alternatives available. To coordinate local technical support to assist in getting connected to the service. 3. To provide resources to the world-wide missionary effort in the form of hardware, software and training for communicating with their "home" church or office. The forum is a computer accessed area set up on the CompuServe Information Service. This international information service was chosen as a platform from which to network the various ministries and the Christian community because of its position in over 120 countries and its ability to be a leader in technology.

Linking Troubled Youth and Adults with Life-Changing Programs Crisis Counseling/Correspondence with Inmates Contact: aa3141@freenet.lorain.oberlin.edu Barbara (based in Cleveland, Ohio) The Missing Link provides: Full-time ministry to prisoners and to those who live in prisons of their own making. Bibles; Bible studies; life- changing literature; film and video presentations; counseling; correspondence with prisoners; prison, street, and church ministry; crime prevention assemblies; referral services; coffee house, street, and prison ministry training. Chaplain Mario, a Swiss evangelist, was converted to Christ from a life of alcohol addiction through "Mom" Wilkerson of the New York City Teen Challenge. He holds a Master of Arts in Pastoral Psychology and Counseling and is fluent in English, the Swiss dialects, German, French, and Italian. * Counseling - Chaplain Mario concentrates in crisis counseling with troubled youth and adults and has a heart for encouraging weary pastors. Drug addicts, alcoholoics, sodomites, prostitutes, juvenile delinquents, hardened criminals, inmate families, those with suicidal tendencies, and burned-out Christians are those Mario deals with on a regular basis. All counseling sessions are centered around God's Wisdom and sound Biblical principals. * Training - Chaplain Mario enjoys helping pastors start up, revitalize, and train volunteers for coffee house, street, and prison ministries. His burden and compassion for reaching the lost is just plain contagious! * Crime Prevention - He has presented drug abuse seminars for police and the public. Chaplain Mario has some shocking film and video presentations on how wrong choices can lead to a life of heartache and misery. * Why the name? - The Lord Jesus Christ is The Missing Link in every sinner's life. He is the only One who can link them with eteral life. As The Missing Link, we are eager to link every sinner with the Lord Jesus Christ. * How Can You Help? - Donations of softcover Bibles are always welcome! (Leather or imitation only). You can help The Missing Link collect information on solid, Christian, residential programs for troubled youth and adults. We need people to help locate these programs and send us the the information on services provided. (A special form will be provided to collect this data uniformly).

This tradition, sometimes known as the Restoration Movement, includes the Churches of Christ, the independent Christian Churches and the Disciples of Christ. The Christian Connexion or Christian movement which later joined the United Church of Christ and the Christadelphians are other traditions that share some of the same history. The list is sponsored by the College of Biblical Studies at Abilene Christian University a college associated with the Churches of Christ. The list moderator is also a member of the Churches of Christ, so most of the discussion may center on that part of the tradition. However, discussions and the perspectives of the whole tradition are welcome and encouraged. Anyone who is a member of the list may pose a question or respond to any posting. We ask that good etiquette be used by each individual on the list. Please refrain from flamming or the use of sarcasm and please keep your posts relevant to the history of the tradition. Please also respect the opinions of those with whom you disagree. Also please take care in what you write: all list postings will be archived, so that anything you say will be permanently preserved for posterity. We hope to make online availablility of key documents of the tradition. To subscribe to the list send a message to listserv@bible.acu.edu with only one line in your mail message. The one line should read SUBSCRIBE STONE-CAMPBELL If you have a signature in your message, the QUIT command should follow the SUBSCRIBE command. Thus your message to listserv@bible.acu.edu should look like this: subscribe stone-campbell quit Moderator: Mike Casey mcasey@pepperdine.edu Owner: Kenny Kon kenny.kon@bible.acu.edu (Technical Support) From nobody@cs.utexas.edu Mon Aug 15 11:43:50 1994 Received: from rodan.UU.NET by aramis.rutgers.edu (5.59/SMI4.0/RU1.5/3.08) id AA09590; Mon, 15 Aug 94 11:43:50 EDT Received: from relay1.UU.NET by rodan.UU.NET with SMTP id QQxdbq16235; Mon, 15 Aug 1994 11:43:46 -0400 Received: from news.cs.utexas.edu by relay1.UU.NET with SMTP id QQxdbq12602; Mon, 15 Aug 1994 11:43:41 -0400 Received: (from nobody@localhost) by news.cs.utexas.edu (8.6.9/8.6.9) id KAA00577; Mon, 15 Aug 1994 10:43:38 -0500 To: soc-religion-christian@uunet.uu.net Path: not-for-mail From: RMSYLTE@uci.edu (Ruth M.

Its primary aim is the Gospel of John and related fields of interest that tie to an understanding of this Gospel. This conference is open to all points of view in order that an extended dialogue may take place. It is hoped that the approach will be one of academic pursuit and not an argumentative forum. Thus all are welcome to provide wisdom and insight. In addition, an FTP site will also be provided in the near future for users to obtain Biblical tools and programs. We also hope to publish an electronic journal on the Fourth Gospel, so we welcome any submission of articles for inclusion to this Journal.

To allow Christians to meet other Christians and converse. A "meeting forum" not a "discussion forum". There are other maillists and Usenet Groups that will allow discussion of doctrine. 2. To get the ball rolling on creating a Usenet Group (moderated) for Christian Penpals. GUIDELINES FOR THIS MAILLIST ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. To subscribe to this maillist write to lmk3@lehigh.edu and in the body type: SUBSCRIBE CHRISTIAN PENPAL (PP or PD) Since some people do pay for their connection time I am willing to split this maillist into two groups. A. Those who want to receive posts requesting penpals or an introduction as a penpal. (PP) B. Those who want to receive posts requesting penpals/ introduction as a penpal; PLUS penpal discussion. (PD) I will need to know your preference. So please email me with your choice. POSTING - To post to this maillist please send your post to: lmk3@lehigh.edu In your subject line, please start your subject with either PP PD Example: PP: My introduction Example: PD: Meeting people By doing this, you will help me identify your letter very quickly. 2. DISCUSSION - The discussions that will be allowed on this maillist should not be on doctrinal issues. There are other maillists and Usenet Groups for discussion of doctrinal issues. Since this is a "meeting forum" I would suggest you center your discussion around areas of interest in that direction. I know that as Christians, we have a "special bond" amongst us...we are sort of like family. Let's be a "family of God"! 3. Flaming - don't even bother! Those types of posts won't get by me! I expect everyone to treat each other in a Christlike manner! 4. INTRODUCTION - If you haven't already done so....introduce yourself. Where do you live? Likes, dislikes, special interests, ministries you may be involved in, family, etc........... If after a time...you would like to repost your introduction...feel free to do so. 5. FEEDBACK - I am just "one" of you. If you would like to see this maillist go in another direction, please let me know. If you are upset with my moderation policies, please talk to me. 6. CORRESPOND PERSONALLY - If someone posts a request for a penpal, please respond to that person personally, not to the whole group; unless it leads into a discussion. Private discussions should not be forwarded to the whole group. 7. USENET GROUP DISCUSSION - That type of discussion will be posted to both the PP and PD groups. We need everyone's input. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ ~~~~~\ \ ___ _____ | ~~~~~\ Linda Kreitz \ ~~~~ /_|_\___-=0`/|0`/__| ~~~~~\ lmk3@lehigh.edu \_______\ | / | / |> ~~~~~/ (215) 758-4140 / ~~~~ `/-=====_/__|/_==-| ~~~~~/ / ~~~~~ * ~~~~\ / | From news@char2.vnet.net Wed Sep 28 18:56:51 1994 Received: from rodan.UU.NET by aramis.rutgers.edu (5.59/SMI4.0/RU1.5/3.08) id AA05626; Wed, 28 Sep 94 18:56:51 EDT Received: from relay2.UU.NET by rodan.UU.NET with SMTP id QQxjjf22380; Wed, 28 Sep 1994 18:56:49 -0400 Received: from char2.vnet.net by relay2.UU.NET with SMTP id QQxjjf24508; Wed, 28 Sep 1994 18:56:45 -0400 Received: by char2.vnet.net id AA02577 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for soc-religion-christian@uunet.uu.net); Wed, 28 Sep 1994 18:56:20 -0400 To: soc-religion-christian@uunet.uu.net Path: cnc From: cnc@vnet.net (Don Martin) Newsgroups: soc.religion.christian Subject: A Word From The Prayer List Date: 28 Sep 1994 22:56:19 GMT Organization: Vnet Internet Access, Inc. - Charlotte, NC.

Date: Fri, 30 Sep 1994 00:46:06 GMT THE LEADERSHIP FORUM Connecting Christian leaders globally through the information highway Have you ever wished for a way to talk with other Christian leaders who might be struggling with the same problems and situations as you? Have you ever wanted to know if there are any upcoming seminars or conferences relevant to Christian leadership? Have you ever wanted to learn how other Christians are using computers for their ministries? Have you ever wanted to discuss with other leaders the various issues a leader faces? Have you ever wanted advice on small groups? Have you ever wanted to know what it actually means to be a leader? If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions, then the Leadership Forum can help you. WHAT IS THE LEADERSHIP FORUM? The Leadership Forum is an electronic mailing list done in cooperation with the system administration of ICL that is accessible by all major computer networks that provide e-mail to the INTERNET, such as CompuServe, America Online, Prodigy, Delphi and others. The Leadership Forum uses a special program called MAJORDOMO which will automatically resend all e-mail messages it receives to a list of subscribers. Each subscriber sees all the mail that is forwarded by MAJORDOMO which allows discussion to take place with people from all over the world. To take part in a discussion one simply sends a message to the Leadership Forum address. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LEADERSHIP FORUM? The purpose of the Leadership Forum is to help Christian leaders with their various ministries by networking them with other leaders around the globe. These leaders include college fellowship leaders, pastors, music leaders and others. Problems can be shared and other subscribers of Leadership Forum can offer solutions, suggestions, comments, or other helpful information. Ideas can be exchanged concerning small group, evangelism, discipleship and other programs. New computer software, conferences and seminars that are relevant to Christian leadership can be posted to inform leaders what is available to them. Various leadership topics can also be discussed such as: What does it mean to be a servant leader? How does one balance social life and leadership responsibilities? How can leaders be more effective in a time of change and still remain Biblical? How does one minister to the Baby Buster generation? These questions and any others you might have can be discussed with Christian leaders, from not only all over the country, but also from all over the world. Most of all, Leadership Forum can provide a place where leaders can receive encouragement, support and prayers from other Christians. WHAT IS THE COST TO JOIN? The cost to subscribe is free. The only cost you may have to pay is for acquiring an account with a commercial service such as Delphi, America Online, CompuServe, Netcom, and Prodigy. HOW DO I SUBSCRIBE TO THE LEADERSHIP FORUM?

Discussion will center upon the history, faith and practice of the subject churches, but may include more general issues of Christianity. Topics are expected to run the gamut from academic discussion of church history and technical liturgical and theological matters to practical matters of faith and devotion. Initial participants include both clergy and laity, of both traditionalist and more modern approaches to the Faith. The list is sponsored by The Old Catholic Church in New England, a missionary agency of The Diocese of Michigan and the Central States, Old Roman Catholic Church in North America, but all people of good will are invited to participate, regardless of their religious affiliation, if any.

EDUCATION SECTION Home Education & Schools (National Assn. of Catholic Home Educators, Seton Home Study, Seton School); Research & College Forum (Christendom College); Church Documents Library. MARKETPLACE SECTION Couple to Couple League; DiCarlo Booksellers; Ignatius Press; Our Sunday Visitor; St. Joseph Communications. USER ASSISTANCE SECTION Customer Service (Trinity Communications); Computer and Graphics Forum (Michael Hains). =================== DAILY NEWS SERVICES =================== In the News and Current Issues Forum, CRNET offers the daily dispatches of the Vatican Information Service, as well as its own daily Catholic newswire. ================================ FILES, MESSAGES AND ON-LINE CHAT ================================ The Catholic Resource Network provides three basic functions while you are "online". First, each forum has its own libraries, containing large numbers of text files which you can either read online or transfer to your own computer. Catholic books, articles, position papers, lists, and Church documents are all available in the file libraries. Second, each forum has its own public message area, where you can ask questions or discuss Catholic issues. Using message-based communi-cations, you can read, write and reply to messages whenever you are on-line, and the messages you send become part of a message "thread" for other users to read and reply to when they are on line. You can also exchange private electronic mail (email), not only with other CRNET members, but with anyone on virtually any email system in the world, via the Internet. Finally, CRNET offers real-time conferencing. This enables you to chat with other users who are online at the same time. It also permits hosts to sponsor special events, such as live question-and-answer sessions with a Catholic expert on a topic of current interest. ================ SPECIAL SERVICES ================ In addition to the basic items provided in all forums, there are a number of special services available on CRNET. You can browse through the catalogues of major Catholic publishers and place orders. You can read the daily dispatches of the Vatican Information Service and the CRNET Newswire. You can even get canonical advice or spiritual counseling online. You can also ask questions of the faculty of Christendom College, pull up information about dangerous cults and sects, find a home schooling family willing to share resources, and much more besides. ================== HOW TO GET STARTED ================== To get started with CRNET, all you need is a computer (any kind) and a modem. Set your communications software to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. Choose ANSI terminal emulation if you have it (otherwise use VT100/102), and turn flow control ON. Then use your modem to dial direct to 1-703-791-4336. You can explore the system as a visitor before deciding whether you wish to join. ================= RATES AND CHARGES ================= CRNET is user-supported through credit card billing. Pre-payment by check is available for some memberhsip plans. There is a lifetime membership fee of $25. In addition, members choose a subscription plan. The Budget Plan costs $4.95 per month for one-hour per month of access; the Standard Plan costs $9.95 per month for two hours; and the Unlimited Plan costs $19.95 per month for unlimited access. There are no hourly charges. (All prices are in U.S. funds.)

Topics may and should include: Prayer; Spiritual reading, especially the Bible; Development of one's personal relationship with Jesus Christ; The influence of God, the saints, and angels in our lives; Spiritual and corporal works of mercy; The role of the Church in one's spiritual growth; Building the Kingdom of God; Life in this world as seen from the perspective of eternal life. This discussion group is unmoderated. The group is not restricted to those who identify themselves as Roman Catholics, but the intent is to anchor discussions in Catholic belief and practice.

Read on for specifics. WHAT IS VOTD? Having trouble getting started in the morning? Kick start your day with an inspiring messages right out of the Word of God. That's right! Due to the advent of the computer age, every day His Word is spread around the world and brought directly to your desktop via email providing some insight and encouraging words that help you start your day. Here's a sample: -------------------------------------------------------- Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galations 6:9-10 Have an excellent Monday! The Holy Bible, New International Version Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 International Bible Society -------------------------------------------------------- VOTD HISTORY: The Verse of the Day Started February 5th 1993 by Dave Perkins at Aldus Corporation in Seattle as an internally distributed daily mailing list. The original distribution was only 16 recipients. In the last 2 years, the VOTD has grown exponentially and is now distributed over the Internet worldwide. The verse of the day is not some autogenerated, impersonal thing that gets sent out without thought. Everyday, I personally pray about a verse that God speaks to me about (things that I am thinking about or dealing with). It's really a personal quiet- time verse that I share with everyone. I have been amazed at how many responses I get from people strugling or dealing with the same issues in their lives. Hopefully the VOTD will impact you the same way it has many other people. VOTD POLICIES: -No Junk Mail. The verse of the day distribution list will not ever be used to distribute political agenda, news, advertisements, etc. -VOTD postings will only be sent once a day. *USA Holidays are observed. -No commentary. If the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, then I think it can stand up by itself. I won't be adding any commentary to the verses. -Confidentiality The names listed with the VOTD distribution list will be kept confidential and not be sold or transferred to other lists. -Personal The VOTD is a personal ministry and it's meant to stay that way. The verses won't ever be selected randomly by a computer program and auto-mailed to everyone. VOTD FEEDBACK: I really like to correspond with people about the verses and enjoy feedback. Please don't hesitate to send off a note about the VOTD. I also believe in sharing the responsibility for finding treasures in God's Word. If you have a verse that you come across in your personal study and would like to share it, please send it to me and I will send it out. SPREAD THE WORD: If you want to help spread the word about VOTD, tell a friend or relative, send out a note on Usenet, tell people at your church, put an advertisement for VOTD in your work or church newsletter, or forward the VOTD email to someone else and ask if they might want to receive it. If you find someone interested, send them a copy of this note or give them the subscription instructions listed on the bottom of this posting. LIST HOST: NetCentral, Inc.

CHRISTIAN MUSIC LISTS The Friends of Amy Grant [AMY-LIST] The only official Amy Grant mailing list, this is a one-way distribution list for Friends of Amy, her official fan club. The Christian Music Digest [CHRISTIAN-MUSIC-LIST] A moderated daily discussion digest about Christian Music. Designed to be more in-depth and more focused than the Usenet newsgroup rec.music.christian.

Included each month are features, reviews, and complete unedited press releases from the entire industry.

PRO-FAMILY LISTS Focus on the Family [FOF-LIST] An unofficial one-way list that distributes information from Dr. James Dobson and Focus on the Family. The moderator receives explicit permission for any and all information posted. Family Research Council [FRC-LIST] Like the FOF-LIST above, this is an unofficial mailing list that redistributes information from Family Research Council.

The purpose of the list is to provide information which encourages Catholics to practice the Faith, to grow spiritually and intellectually, and to strengthen the bonds of fellowship in the Church. SUBSCRIBING =========== To subscribe, send an e-mail to listproc@gabriel.cambridge.ma.us with the line "subscribe ne-cath-events YourName" in the body of the message. Note that the software expects a *name*, not an e-mail address. To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe ne-cath-events" to listproc@gabriel.cambridge.ma.us. WHERE TO POST ============= Articles should be mailed to ne-cath-events@gabriel.cambridge.ma.us At present, the list does not have an archive of posts or a file archive. WHAT INFORMATION TO POST ======================== A brief description of an event should include: * the date, day of week, time, and place * sponsoring organization, if known * how to get more information, and * driving directions; * bus/subway information is useful for city events; * an estimate of the duration of the event would be helpful too. SCOPE OF THE LIST ================= TOPICS: Announcements of Catholic-Church-related lectures, services, conferences, retreats, courses, and concerts are appropriate for the list. Please note the list's policy against commercial advertising. GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE: Events held in the six New England states (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island) are welcome; events in neighboring states and provinces and national events may be announced at the list owner's discretion. READERSHIP: Any interested person is welcome to subscribe to ne-cath-events, and any subscriber may submit articles for posting. DESIGNATION OF THE TERM "CATHOLIC": For the purposes of this list, the term "Catholic Church" denotes the communion of Christians in full union with the Pope of Rome. NON-CATHOLIC EVENTS: Events of other churches (or of no particular church) may be announced at the list owner's discretion. WHAT IS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE LIST ===================================== DEBATE: There are other Internet mailing lists and newsgroups for doctrinal discussions. DISSENT: Events promoting dissent from normative (even if not irreformable) teachings of the Church are usually not appropriate for this list. Please consult with the list owner about any such cases. COMMERCIALIZATION: The list is not to be used as a forum for the advertising of for-profit ventures. MODERATION ========== The list owner and moderator is Richard Chonak, and the list is operated from his personal machine, gabriel.cambridge.ma.us . Since the list is a voluntary project, it may be changed or terminated in the future. The moderator reserves the right to reject postings for reasons not listed here. :-) CAVEAT ====== Although I hope everyone will describe events as accurately as possible, mistakes and disappointments will occasionally happen. You can use the contact information in the article to verify the time, date, etc., and avoid any inconvenience. A TECHNICAL NOTE ================ Don't worry if your address appears rearranged in the confirmation message you get upon subscription; our mail software does that, and it's harmless. Your address will appear in its normal format when you post a message to the list. THANK YOU ========= Thanks for reading thus far; I hope everyone enjoys the list and that it will help us to praise together the wonderful God who has redeemed us in Jesus Christ.

Date: 14 Jun 1995 19:53:29 GMT Organization: via CompuServe Information Service Lines: 24 Message-ID: <3rnenp$sf1$1@mhafc.production.compuserve.com> Commentaries on user-specified passages of Mark's Gospel are now available free as ASCII files. The total Commentary is not available in one mailing; please only request one reference at a time. The commentary is written on "non-confessional" basis, and aims to be doctrinally neutral. It is suitable for senior school-students or non-specialist adults. The British author is a Roman Catholic ex-Episcopalian minister, now a schoolteacher. Each section is usually no longer than one side of A4 paper; the commentary is based on the Good News Bible. Commentaries on Mark chapter 1 may currently (06.14.95) be downloaded from the section-library of the "Christianity" section of the CompuServe "Religion" Forum. Alternatively, the relevant file may be posted directly to you at your request from the author: PHILLIP MEDHURST 100553.2665@COMPUSERVE.COM Posting a file from CompuServe over the Internet involves a surcharge for the author which cannot be reversed. Please consider recompensing him by giving him some e-mail feedback - however brief - on what you read. Please remember to give the chapter and verse reference of Mark for which you want the commentary.
