"The Moravian Church is a mainline Protestant denomination with more than five hundred years of history. Founded before the Lutheran, Presbyterian, or Methodist churches -- even before the discovery of America -- Moravians have long been centered on Christ and focused on faithful living and Christian unity. Rather than concentrating on divisive doctrines, the Moravian Church preaches the basics of the faith which all Christians share in common. Moravians are encouraged to live out their faith through service to those in need. Our mission work has concentrated on the poor and the powerless, and groups largely unreached by other denominations." - From What is the Moravian Church, The Moravian Church.

MORNING STAR TECHNICAL SERVICES
http://www.MorningStar.Org
Comment: "I collected the World Christian Internet Resources, and typed the text of that famous old We Are World Christians! poster, out of simple frustration. I saw that the existing Christian information resources on the Interet were focused primarily on nurturing the North American church. Few carry any material to help mobilize the church for its assault on the gates of Hell, particularly when the battle is carried cross-culturally, behind enemy lines." RAS, MorningStar Tech Services.
We seek to encourage and enable others to help fill that gap. We gather projects and pointers under our home page, participate in relevant conferences and network discussion forums, and provide facilities as needed for other organizations.
MR. D'S NOTES ON THEOLOGY (THEOLOGY)
http://www.goshen.net/mrdsnts/
Mr. D's notes represent conservative Christian systematic theology. The theology is a practical work divided into small portions that would be the start of good lessons. It should be a good reference work for readers even ifreaders disagree with the conclusions. He has always encouraged my students to "chew and spit" - chew what you hear and read - then spit out what doesn't stand up to the Word of God. Mr. D., Reverend Stanley L. Derickson, Ph.D., has pastored, interim pastored and copastored churches over the years. The ministries have been self support ministries. He taught at a Bible Institute for four years. He has earned a B.A.from Denver Baptist Bible College and Seminary, a Th.B. from Western Baptist College, Salem, OR, a Th.M. from Toledo Bible College and Seminary, and his Ph.D. from Trinity Seminary, Newburgh, IN. Mr. D and his wife and I were on deputation for five years with WEF Ministries (Now Biblical Ministries Worldwide), unable to raise the necessary support. In response to the Lord's leading, they are presently allocated to the United States. This work is admittedly very strong on missionsand fundamentalism. The author believes these are two topics that the fundamental churches of America have forgotten to teach to the present generation. He trusts that readers will be challenged by the work. One may read the theology on line or may download portions of the work, or the whole work in one file. There is a detailed alphabetical index and another simple index that makes it easy to navigate through the online book. Sections are divided into: 1: A Bibliography, Theology Proper, 2: Christology, Pneumatology, Angelology, 3. Anthropology, Hamartology, Soteriology, 4: Ecclesology, and, 5: Eschatology. In addition to meat, there is dessert. Pulpit I've Filled contains a good supply of humorous anecdotes about the pulpit experience. Recommended.
