  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.
