Read Science and Health in a Year Yahoo! eMail Group
We
invite you to participate. We've now completed Science and Health
and are now reading and discussing PROSE WORKS by Mary
Baker Eddy.
Description:
Started on May 30th, 2005, the Read Science and Health group completed
reading and discussing Science and Health on October
25, 2006.
We began
a read through and discussion of Prose Works on Monday,
November 6, 2006. It will take about 2 years to complete the book.
We're reading each of the component "books" of Prose
Works in chronological order of copyright.
Rules and Regs
This is a private online group, so you have to be a member to
post and read messages. You'll fit in perfectly if you can
agree to following The Golden Rule (do unto others as you would
have them do unto you) and the spirit of Mary Baker Eddy's
A Rule for Motives and Acts.
You
don't have to be a member of the Christian Science church to
join,
just have a desire
to learn more and talk about the Science
and Health and Christian Science.
How
it works
The
online group is run from the Yahoo! Groups site, so in order to
view and post messages, you'll need a Yahoo! ID. You can get one
free at Yahoo.com.
Note:
if you don’t
have a Yahoo! ID, this link will take you to a form to create
one.
When creating your Yahoo! ID, you'll have a few choices:
1)
Email notification
Use an existing email address, or create a new one. If
you want to use an existing email, just fill it
in at the appropriate
place and uncheck the box offering a free Yahoo!
address.
2) Receiving
messages from the group
You have three options for receiving messages, so just
pick the one you most prefer. You'll be able
to change this option
later
if you want.
Individual
Emails
You'll receive an email every time someone posts
a message to the group, including the reading
assignment
for the
day email.
You'll get a lot of emails, but it will be
easier to reply and you'll be able to do it sooner.
Digest Emails
You'll receive all of that day's messages,
including the reading assignment for
the day, in one long
email. You'll
only get
one daily email, but in order to reply,
you'll need to change the
subject line of the email and delete
all extraneous information from the message. (This
keeps the
email from getting
unnecessarily long.)
No Emails
In order to access the messages for that day, you can go to
the group's message archive page.
You'll be able to reply to postings right there on the
page.
Once you've
filled in the form and received your Yahoo! ID, you're in!
Please feel free to participate,
enjoy the reading,
and post your questions and inspiration. You'll make many
new friends and deepen your spirituality. Thanks for joining! |
