The Science & Christianity mailing list is a closed mailing list
providing a forum for Christians in the sciences to discuss issues
relating science and Christianity. Its primary purpose is to allow
ecumenical discussions on the role of Christians in the scientific
community and, conversely, the role of scientists in the Christian
community. This list is ecumenical and welcomes Christians of all
denominations.
To subscribe, send email to the list moderator (Steven Schimmrich, a
Ph.D. geology student) directly at s-schim@students.uiuc.edu ; state
briefly how you meet the following three conditions for membership: (1)
You are actively involved in some aspect of the natural sciences as a
student, instructor, or professional; (2) you are a believing, practicing
Christian; (3) you agree to be civil at all times.
The Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) mailing list is a medium to
allow those interested in biblical ecology to communicate with each
other--to share thoughts, concerns, prayer requests, responses, and
solutions to problems. It brings recent information on efforts of the
EEN and other ministries to help care for God's earth. The EEN is an
organization committed to helping individuals and the church develop
biblical reflection on creation and apply it to private, church, and
public life.
To subscribe, send email to een@esa.mhs.compuserve.com with a
message stating your wilingness to participate or just to "listen in" on
the discussion. Please send a BRIEF paragraph or two describing who you
are and outlining your philosophy of Christian involvement in creation
care. In addition, please send your postal address. Upon receipt of
this information, you will be added to the list. (Your reply to EEN will
be held in confidence. One does not need to be a subscriber to Compuserve.
After you are added to the list, you will receive a "welcome"
message and some general instructions about how to use the system and the
address for posting messages.
