[Faith-talk] What is the purpose of this list because it's unclear to me and probably a lot of us

[David Andrews]

Here is the official description:

Faith-talk is a list where people can discuss matters related to 
faith and/or blindness.  Persons of all faiths are welcome.  Feel 
free to post, and have fun!

As list owner I will say that I was approached by the person who was 
president of the NFB division that deals with church etc. -- I can't 
remember the exact name.  The concern was that blind persons were 
having problems with their churches because of blindness, and we 
needed a place to discuss the intersection of faith, church, and 
blindness.  It was never intended as a prayer group, or a repository 
for forwards.

The moderator has asked that people limit themselves to one forward a 
day, but some people seem to be unable or unwilling to follow that request.

David Andrews, List Owner
