Clergy and CLP
E-Mail Groups Reformulated
In order to provide more opportunities for communication among clergy and CLPs, clergy and CLP e-mail lists have been reformulated. There will now be two lists available for posting as follows:
clergy-discussion
@pbygenval.org
Recently renamed, this is an e-mail list of clergy and CLPs who voluntarily choose to subscribe. The purpose of this list is to foster voluntary discussion of issues of interest to people on the list. Replies to postings will go to the entire group to allow a group discussion. There are now 20 people on the list. Requests for subscription should be sent to .
Example Uses
- I’m thinking of trying … for comfirmation. Has anyone tried that?
- I think that point … in the report of the Task Force on the Peace, Unity & Purity of the Church is confusing. What do you all make of it?
- I was reading the Bible today and had this tremendous insight that I would like to share with you…
allclergyandclps
@pbygenval.org
This is an e-mail list of ALL clergy and CLPs. You do not need to request a subscription. If you are a minister or a CLP in the Presbytery of Genesee Valley, you are automatically part of the list. The primary purpose of the list is to foster communication among clergy and CLPs peers. Replies to postings will go directly to the individual initiating a message and not to the entire list. This list is not intended to be a discussion group, but a means of communicating information of interest to the group.
Example Uses
- I am planning on going to… event. Would anyone like to car pool?
- Two other pastors and I get together every month and bring cases from our ministries for peer review and support. We are looking for a fourth. Anyone game?
- Our church just built an outdoor labyrinth and I wanted to let you all know that any group or individual is welcome to come use it at any time.
We hope you will take advantage of these opportunities to communicate with your peers.
