Peter Sender introduces a new online Quaker discussion forum
Friends have been using a new version of the Quaker discussion forum at
www.quaker.org.uk to share thoughts about Quaker worship and beliefs, Quaker work and running Quaker Meetings in Britain. This was launched with new ‘Advices and boundaries’ following concerns about how discussions on previous forums were moderated.
The new forum is focused on Quaker discussion and offers a welcoming environment to Quakers and non-Quakers alike. We wanted to provide somewhere different from the usual web. Everyone signing up to the new forum is asked to agree to boundaries for both the content of discussions and for the manner in which they are held. We want Quaker values to be visible to forum visitors and want our contributors to enjoy participating in topical discussions related to their Quaker beliefs.

Another web-based discussion site linked to BYM is found here:
http://groups.google.com/group/quaker-b
It’s the inheritor of t’old Quaker-B e-mail list (and still has this option), and registration can be completed by e-mailing a request to the list moderators.
