We perceive this discussion list to be a place where people can share anything of relevance to the life of St Mark's... whether that be information as to forth coming events, or prayer requests, theological comment, cutting sociological analysis, or simply a tasteful joke!!  We see it simply as an additional forum for communication, and therefore (hopefully) another way of building up the fellowship of believers.  We do not want it to be a place where people gossip about each other...
