An Experiment

Occasionally I’ll get e-mail  that is almost a blog post. From time to time, I’ve posted some of these.

Well, I’d like to try an experiment in group-blogging.

For a limited time only (to see if this works), I’d like to open the doors on this an invite folks to send in e-mail specifically intended to serve as blog posts.

A few stipulations:

1. This is a temporary experiment. I don’t know how many such e-mails may be usable, and I don’t want folks to write a bunch of stuff that doesn’t get end up getting used (thus frustrating them), so let’s try a quick test and see how it goes.
2. I’d encourage folks to submit posts that aren’t heavy into theology, canon law, or biblical studies. There’s a stronger chance I might disagree on those and find them not-usable. For now, I’m more looking for posts on the other kind of material we have on the blog (which is today, on everything else of interest).
3. Please let me know if you’d like me to credit you by name or not.
4. Please include the words "BLOG POST" in the title of the e-mail so I’m clear that’s what it’s for (I can be dense sometimes).

Thanks much, folks! I look forward to seeing what y’all have on your minds!
