Washington Baptist Church

This Study Group will operate in a form of hyperspace (via e-mail) for the sake of time and geography. This study is ideal for people who travel, or for various other reasons are unable to attend church, Sunday school, special courses, or educational courses, and etc....

This Study Group will generate and discuss topics relative to the modern-day Church and Christendom in general. Also, the format and style with which we begin this study is only a starting point. That is to say, the style and format is subject to evolve as we move forward in time.

1. Topics and issues will be generated by the group members. Topics of interest will be compiled and forwarded to the group via email; subsequently the group will create a hierarchy, via vote, for the topics of interest. After the topics are determined, you will submit a list of two (02) questions per topic of interest.

2. Secular and biblical references must be listed (author and title) with regard to the subject matter and commentary responses. (example will be given)

3. Your response will be in the format of commentary regarding your opinion to the given subject matter. Please remember, you may use any reference (list @ font size: Arial # 8) to make a point and/or as a matter of research and illustration.(example will be given)

4. In the beginning, total commentary responses will be limited to a four (04) page response using the template as set forth / triple column / font size (Times New Roman # 12). (example will be given)

5. Questions regarding the given topic will be set forth in blue ink and your response should be limited to the blue ink items as set forth within a given topic…………. e.g.

· Before the Judgment Seat of Christ, what determines whether a person receives eternal rewards or the same is burned?

6. Your comment and response to any given topic may be used for the purpose of teaching, preaching, edification, writing, compilation of data, or other educational purposes. However, with regard to personal identification, group names may not be used or reproduced outside of this Study Group (publicly), without your written consent! In essence, the personal identity of this Study Group is for private domain, only!

7. Your response to assigned topic matters will be limited to a monthly time period from the date of your e-mail reception. In essence, 01 Topic / month for a total of 12 topics for the year. If the group is expedient, then the number of topics may increase accordingly!

8. The window application program for this Study Group is Microsoft Word. This program will be the working platform for information exchange.

9. If you become a member of this Study Group, I will send you an example of the following: Preamble; Topic; Questions / Topic; and Forum. Hopefully, this will illustrate a type of format and response concept for the group. As a group member you will respond to the “sample” topic with your commentary and points of interest (this will “get your feet wet” so to speak)!

11. Upon becoming a member of this group I will honor the requirements and hold in confidence the terms and preamble of this Study Group!

12. If you have an expressed interest in becoming a member of this Study Group, please send an email to the following address:

All group “responses” will be compiled and sent to group members. The compilation of responses will be sent to all group members for review, edification, and discussion. The compilation will be sent in a “Forum” format for your review. (example will be given)

Note: I am compelled to iterate, reiterate, and remind you, “constantly,” of this one point. Do not be offended with other group members when they disagree with you! Remember, an opinion is not a personal attack upon you or what you believe. Do not intermingle your personal feelings and other members’ opinion with regard to any topic of discussion.
