SCIENCE AND CHRISTIANITY MAILING LIST RESOURCES [new 10/96]
http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~s-schim/scichr/scichr.html
The same quality is incorporated into this information list as is incorporated into Steve Schimmerich's Christian Resources on the Web, noted elsewhere in this guide, however this list is framed to include information about Christian involvement in science. Detailed is information about the Science and Christianity Mailing List, also described in the Mail-based Services section of this guide. Mr. Schimmerich also provides Science and Christianity Essays (see Wajenberg, Schimmrich, Morton, and Harvey). More information includes connections to, or information about, organizations for Christians in science, mailing lists for Christians in science, internet resourcs for Christians in science, book reviews, and a suggested reading list. Again, this is a mature presentation that includes a well balanced, thorough and helpful information aid purposely limited to science. Highly recommended.
SCRIPTORA [new 10/96]
http://www.rescribe.com/scrip.htm
Unfolding God's Eternal Purpose to Sum Up All Things in Christ. Russ Lipton and other supporters of this site write that Sola Scriptora (scripture alone) has been a centuries-long rallying cry for those Christians who believe that our only source of safety against both excess and error is the Bible. Of course, they recognize that to say this does not end the problem of interpretation, since scripture does not relieve us of the need to interpret it. Further, they hope that we do interpret it by the Holy Spirit, but this must remain hope, not certainty. Scriptora is an evolving collection of texts that, by God's grace, will help unfold to readers His eternal purpose to sum up all things in Christ and provide the church as His eternal companion. Consider Scriptora an interactive commentary. The Scriptora pages provide two main sets of resources: descriptive documents that welcome visitors, and a sizable collection of files that are the meat of the ministry. Descriptive documents include Mission, Gifts, Feedback, Resources, NetLinks, Personal, and page highlighting new documents that have been added to the archive. Portions of the Scriptora include Gospel: Eternal Life ... or Death, followed by a number of topics: In These Last Days; The Sacred Mystery, Living Through an End Time; The Heavenly Companions; Devotion to Practices; Verses; Talk; and, Trails. Scriptora represents a well-balanced, thoughtful approach supporting Bible study discussion. Recommended.

THE SCRIPTURE MEMORY CONNECTION [new 5/97]
http://home.istar.ca/~ssimpson/
Dedicated to the support and encouragement of Christians who wish to memorize portions of the Bible. This web site is energized by purpose and hope the Lord provides for every Christian. Site developer Stephen Simpson, a Christian for fifteen years imparts his insights not solely into successful memorization techniques that help folks get started, or those whom have already started more productive and better able to hold onto what we have memorized, but also by the time shared by what he has found to be pitfalls that tend to block the way. A major point raised is that Scripture memorization is essential to our Christan walk. He rightfully observes that relatively few are memorizing the Bible beyond a few key verses. Yet, having read many biographies by influential Christians it becomes obvious how cogent this observation is. Those of us who live in places where we can freely pick up our Bibles, concordances and study aids, without the obstruction of limb and mind must not take for granted the fact that many more people do not have this precious freedom. Knowing of that great potential the Lord puts into every Christian life, know that much more can be accomplished than we first think possible. Included on the web site are an Introduction (including purposes and contact information), and documents addressing: Why Memorize Scripture? How to Memorize Scripture; and, Introducing the Memorization of Scripture to Your Family or Small Group. Mr. Simpson has provided a means for visitors to share effective methods that we have found helpful. Developed from within the context of his own experience, he has developed the MSDOS, Windows 3.x Scripture Memory System software which he offers at no charge. More documents, including How to Study the Bible; How to Meditate on God's Word; and, How to Put God's Word into Practice are forthcoming. Finally, Mr. Simpson provides links to Scripture Memory Resources on the Net, Favorite Links, and Christian web search utilities. The Scripture Memory Connection is a well-rounded site that is made exceptional by addressing practical needs, enlivening our potential as Christians, and through the expression of Mr. Simpson's personal experience. What readers find on site is an outworking of Mr. Simpson's walk with Christ that is an admirable (and achievable) standard for us all. Very highly recommended.

Today we face challenges all over the world where we need to seize the day. In some countries we can throw caution to the wind and grab the opportunity. In other places we must walk slowly. The constant joy and tension of missions is to know when to be cautious and when to throw caution to the wind. -- SEND International. Information currently available on line details SEND Temps (including What do you get as a volunteer, and Current Opportunities (for example, in Japan, The Ukraine, and Alaska); SEND Summers (summer team opportunities); SEND Career Options (including opportunities in Russia, The Ukraine, Spaine, North Central and South Central Europe, Japan, Taiwan, The Philippines, and Alaska/ Yukon); and, SEND Missionary Stories.

http://www.persecutedchurch.org/
"The cries of the Martyred have been muffled. The silence must be shattred." Christians around the world are suffering. The growing persecution of Christians is largely unknown or unheeded, the voice of the suffering followers of Christ rarely heard. The goal of the 1997 International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church is to shatter the silence and end apathy -- in the church and in the world. The organization aims are to raise awareness of the abuse of human rights and persecution, provide compelling educational materials, and issue a call for prayer and compassionate action to the church universal. -- Adapted from the International Day of Prayer Home Page. A directory of organizations concerned with persecution, secular and Christian, includes available contact information. The site is organized into the following basic sections: Who We Are; What You Can Do; and, What You Should Know. Graphics must be turned on to navigate this site.
