August 6, 1993 Bruce Schuman origin@rain.org This list has been compiled largely from the global list of Bitnet listerservers from UCSBVM on August 3, 1993, with the addition of some other groups not listed on the bitnet list. These discussions have been included here because they are directly concerned with religious and spiritual issues. We expect to maintain and expand this list, to make it as comprehensive as possible. Suggestions for inclusion should be sent to Liesel Deutsch, LieselFD@aol.com INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION COMMANDS: Subscriptions to Bitnet and Unix listservers take the same form: a one line comand sent to LISTSERV@list.address. The commands are not case-sensitive, and can be in lower-case. They are often shown in upper case for the sake of clarity. Commands can be grouped together in one mailing. Thus, an initial Bitnet subscription command might take the following form: Prompt: mail listserv@brownvm.bitnet Subject: [no subject required, leave blank] sub belief-l John Smith [your name, as you wish to be known] review belief-l [returns list description, list of members] index belief-l [returns list of available archived files] query belief-l [returns settings of new account] help [returns general command descriptions] ON BITNET GATEWAYS: Many Internet users can mail directly to Bitnet addresses, without a "gateway". These users can simply address their mail to listname@address.bitnet Other users must add a link to the address. There are many internet/bitnet gateways available. One gateway is cmsa.berkeley.edu, such that the address for sending mail to a bitnet list or listserver is LISTNAME%address@cmsa.berkeley.edu LIST FORM: The below list takes the following form LISTNAME Descriptive List Title SUBSCRIPTION ADDRESS SUBSCRIPTION COMMAND ABBREVIATED LIST OF INTERNET MAILING LISTS ON RELIGION-RELATED TOPICS: =============================================================== ======= ALEXANDRIA Western Esoteric Traditions majordomo@world.std.com Subscribe Alexandria ANGLICAN Episcopal Mailing List LISTSERV@AUVM.BITNET SUB ANGLICAN Your Name BAPTIST BAPTIST -- Open Baptist Mailing List LISTSERV@UKCC.BITNET SUB BAPTIST Your Name BELIEF-L Personal Ideologies Discussion List LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET SUB BELIEF-L Your Name BRIDGE-L The Bridge Across Consciousness (Inter-faith) LISTSERV@UCSBVM.BITNET SUB BRIDGE-L Your Name BUDDHA-L Buddhist Academic Discussion Forum LISTSERV@ULKYVM.BITNET SUB BUDDHA-L Your Name BUDDHIST Forum on Indian and Buddhist Studies LISTSERV@JPNTUVM0.BITNET SUB BUDDHIST Your Name CATHOLIC Free Catholic Mailing List LISTSERV@AUVM.BITNET SUB CATHOLIC Your Name CHRISTIA Practical Christian Life LISTSERV@ASUACAD.BITNET SUB CHRISTIA Your Name CJ-L Belief and Practices of Conservative Judaism LISTSERV@ALBNYVM1.BITNET SUB CJ-L Your Name CONCHR-L Conservative Christian Discussion LISTSERV@TEMPLEVM.BITNET SUB CONCHR-L Your Name CONTENTS Religious Studies Publications Journal LISTSERV@UOTTAWA.BITNET SUB CONTENTS Your Name DIFTX-L Dialogue of Different Christianities LISTSERV@YALEVM.CIS.YALE.EDU SUB DIFTX-L Your Name ECOTHEOL Ecological Theology MAILBASE@UK.AC.MAILBASE SUBSCRIBE ECOTHEOL Your Name EOCHR-L Eastern Orthodox Christianity LISTSERV@QUCDN.BITNET SUB EOCHR-L Your Name GLOBLX-L Global Christianity Discussion LISTSERV@QUCDN.BITNET SUB GLOBLX-L Your Name HERMETICA Gnosticism, Western Esotericism Hermes_owner@cofc.edu Private, apply by personal e-mail application HINDU-D Hindu Digest LISTSERV@ARIZVM1.BITNET SUB HINDU-D Your Name INTERREL Interreligious Dialogue LISTSERV@VM.TEMPLE.EDU SUB INTERREL Your Name ISLAMIAT Islamic Information and Issues Discussion LISTSERV@SAKAAU03.BITNET SUB ISLAMIAT Your Name ISLAM-L History of Islam LISTSERV@ULKYVM.BITNET SUB ISLAM-L Your Name ISTHMUS Roundtable Workgroup on Interfaith Dialogue LISTSERV@YALEVM.CIT.YALE.EDU SUB ISTHMUS Your Name (private list) JSTUDY Jewish Studies LISTSERV@UICVM.BITNET SUB JSTUDY Your Name JU-DA Judaism and Databases LISTSERV@BARILVM.BITNET SUB JU-DA Your Name JUDAICA Judaic Studies Newsletter LISTSERV@TAUNIVM.BITNET SUB JUDAICA Your name KRSNANET Krishna Consciouness Club LISTSERV@ARIZVM1.BITNET SUB KRSNANET Your Name LITURGY Christian Liturgy Discussion MAILBASE@MAILBASE.AC.UK JOIN LITURGY Your Name MERTON-L Research on Contemplative Life LISTSERV@BYRD.MU.WVNET.EDU SUB MERTON-L Your Name MUSLIMS The Islamic Information & News Network LISTSERV@ASUACAD.BITNET SUB MUSLIMS Your name MUSLIMS The Islamic Information & News Network LISTSERV@PSUVM.BITNET SUB MUSLIMS Your Name OBJ-REL Objective Discussion of Religion LISTSERV@EMUVM1.BITNET SUB OBJ-REL Your Name ORTHODOX Orthodox Christianity LISTSERV@ARIZVM1.BITNET SUB ORTHODOX Your name QUAKER-L Quaker community, consensus, spirituality LISTSERV@UIUCVMD.BITNET SUB QUAKER-L Your Name QUAKER-P Quaker peace and social justice LISTSERV@UIUCVMD.BITNET SUB QUAKER-P Your Name RELIGCOM RELIGious COMmunications Forum LISTSERV@UKCC.BITNET SUB RELIGCOM Your Name REVIEW-L CONTENTS Projects Full Text Review LISTSERV@UOTTAWA.BITNET SUB REVIEW-L Your Name SDA-L Seventh-Day Adventists LISTSERV@LLUVM.BITNET SUB SDA-L Your Name SHAKER Shakers, The United Society of Believers LISTSERV@UKCC.BITNET SUB SHAKER Your name SSREL-L Scientific Study of Religion LISTSERV@UTKVM1.BITNET SUB SSREL-L Your Name THEOSCI Science and Theology MXSERV@ALPHA.AUGUSTANA.EDU SUBSCRIBE THEOSCI Your name UUS-L Unitarian Universalists LISTSERV@UBVM.BITNET SUB UUS-L Your Name TAOISM-L Taoism MAJORDOMO@COOMBS.ANU.EDU.AU SUBSCRIBE TAOISM-L Your@email.address TECHSPIRIT-L Technology and Spirituality LISTSERV@WILLIAMS.EDU SUBSCRIBE TECHSPIRIT-L Your Name WISDOM-L The Wisdom Society MAJORDOMO@RAIN.ORG SUBSCRIBE WISDOM-L
