From: [1][email protected] (Kenneth Udut) Newsgroups: news.groups.reviews  Subject: [2][email protected] - discussion for ministers and those interested  in the ministry Date: 3 Aug 1995 14:36:19 GMT   Short review:  Youth ministry, prison ministry, and parish ministry has all be  discussed.  There are some Rabbis, a surprising number of wiccan  priests and priestesses (otherwise impossible to find), some seekers,  and mostly protestant ministers of many different denominatinos  (and a catholic priest or two).  Long review:  [3][email protected]                 MINISTRY is a discussion group for ministers and those          interested in ministry.             This can include ordained ministers of any faith (Christian,          Unitarian Universalist, Rabbis in the Jewish faith), lay          ministers, deacons, those attending seminary, and especially          those interested in pursuing a life in the ministry, but          who need ministerial help in following their calling.             It
focuses on the daily concerns of parish ministers,          although concerns of community ministers (Youth Ministry,          Prison Ministry, for example) and those in Religious          Education are also welcome to participate.             Important topics for discussion include:             * Working with people on a one-to-one basis          * How to work with groups, either during service or out          * Community involvement          * Other forms of outreach including                  * creating and maintaining youth groups                  * attracting new members through advertising word of mouth                  * working with other denominations and religions                  * helping members recognize their calling in life                  * helping those with a call to ministry in the right path          * Working effectively with committees          * How to keep the faith and maintain professional integrity                Topics to be avoided on MINISTRY are:             * Heated theolog
ical debates          * Negative comparisons between different denominations or religions          * Other topics that can effectively be discussed elsewhere online             The preferred style of communication on MINISTRY is          conversational rather than academic.
