The AGRM Members E-mail Discussion List is exclusively for individuals who are members of
the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions or are employed by a
member ministry.
To keep things organized, subscribers are asked to observe these simple
guidelines:
| 1) |
This discussion uses an automated
listserver. Any message sent to the
list's e-mail address is automatically forwarded to almost 300 other city
mission workers around the world. So, be sure to only use this e-mail
address for messages intended for everyone on the list.
|
| 2) |
Include a brief 3-5 word description of your message in the "Subject"
field of your e-mail program. And, when using the "Reply" feature, to send
a message to the listserver, be sure to change the "Subject" field if you
are introducing a new topic. This is especially important because an
archive of this list's proceedings is being kept according to topic.
|
| 3) |
Please do not use the list address to send messages
to staff members of
the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions. If you do not know an individual staff members e-mail address, you may simply use
"agrm@agrm.org" and type his/her name in the "Subject" field and it will
be forwarded to them. You may also contact them through our web mail
interface.
|
| 4) |
To send a reply to a specific individual who posts to the
agrm-list, please use their personal e-mail address. These appear in the header of
messages sent from the listserver.
|
| 5) |
Please do not send binary attachments with your messages, such as
formatted word processing documents, to the AGRM E-mail Discussion
List. We have subscribers who get their e-mail from many different types of
servers, including some which DO NOT support the receiving of attached
files. Instead, we ask you to always insert plain ASCII text into the
body of your e-mail messages sent to the list. This can usually be done
with a simple "copy and paste" with most e-mail programs.
|
| 6) |
If you want to remove yourself from this conference, send a message to
the unsubscribe address that appears within every message from the list. It
will look something like this:
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:leave-agrm-list-210342G@XC.Org>
(Please do not use this example, since each address is personalized to
relate to your subscription only.)
|
| 7) |
Please note, this list is not
edited, so any opinion expressed or information conveyed is solely that of the poster of the messages you
will receive.
|
| 8) |
Please sign your postings to the list. We ask that you include, at
minimum, your name, position, the rescue mission where you work, and the
city where you live. This adds a more personal touch to your messages
received by list participants - and adds credibility to your opinions.
|
| 9) |
Using our
web-based list interface
allows subscribers to manage your subscription, search past messages, and send new messages
to the list from a web browser. This service is available only to current subscribers and is password protected. When you log in for the
first time, you will need to request that your password be e-mailed to you.
|
| 10) |
We ask all participants to also abide by the following guidelines:
- This list is for primarily for communicating ideas, needs, and issues related to
rescue mission ministry. We encourage all members to avoid political, doctrinal, social, technical, and personal issues that do not have a direct relation to this purpose.
- Use
of
this
list
for
fund
raising
or
other
commercial
purposes
is
strictly
forbidden.
- We will not personally attack another due to differing views or
behavior. (Matthew 18 doesn't exempt the Internet).
- We will stick to the issue and not "spiritualize" as if those who have
different opinions are in Biblical violation.
- "Love the brethren" will be the theme of our discussions, and whatever
we relate, we will make that our foremost concern.
- Please do not forward messages
from other e-mail lists to the AGRM lists. Express your
own thoughts and opinions and use only limited quotes if they can be
useful to other list subscribers..
- Do not forward web pages to the
lists. Instead, provide your comments about a particular
topic and include a link to the web site in your e-mail message.
|
If you get your mail via AOL or Juno, be careful about changing your
subscription to receive daily digests. If the list's traffic in one day exceeds your single-message size limit, those messages will be rejected at
AOL's or Juno's Internet email gateway, and you won't receive any messages
from the list at all.
E-mail is a powerful medium for networking. So, I encourage you to take
full advantage of this unique means of communicating your ideas and needs.
So, if you have a prayer request, need some input on a certain issue you might be facing, or have something special to share that you feel would
be of interest to the entire AGRM family, send it to the discussion list.
I trust that your participation in the AGRM
Discussion List will be a
great blessing to you. May God continue to lead you and guide you as you serve Him!
Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions about the list.
For more information, contact Michael
Liimatta , AGRM's Director of Education.

NOTE: Participants in the CEO's
discussion list must use an e-mail address that is theirs alone
- and not shared with other members of the mission's staff. |
