At long last, now that CBF is back online and I'm home from summer work and vacation, I've updated the Paraklesis website with two more issues. (If you subscribe by regular mail, you already got them a few months ago.) There are articles by pastor Donald Mader (who runs a publicly known ministry to BLers in Holland), articles about man-boy relationships involving Christian BLers, about media portrayals of BLers, about legal difficulties, and a letter from one of the founders of NAMBLA. Sometimes it seems like there's little we can do to promote understanding and dialog. But that's not true. One thing we can do is write articles which are read by people beyond our little circle here. Paraklesis is read by people who lurk at CBF as well as by non-internet people who receive it in regular mail. You can help this effort. I'm looking for more articles for future issues from all of you. Articles about ethical and emotional issues, and personal stories from BLers and their friends and relatives are especially needed. Please consider submitting something. If you need ideas, please read this. Enjoy. |
