Subject: RE: While waiting for Haruo's Hymn Forum...
Haruo, kudos on the great work you've done and are doing!

I'm wondering in which category already listed would discussions or queries go on the history & current conditions/projects of Baptist social activism.

Maybe those discussions could be placed under the categories of Politics or Baptist Heritage but I'm not sure it really fits there.

Of course, a topic as Baptists involvement in the [African American] Civil Rights Movement could just go under General Chat, but maybe a Social Activism category would be a better fit.

But if not, that's fine too.

And with regard to Babtist Heritage, the notation is "For discussing our proud heritage of freedom and faithfulness"..aren't there more than one Babtist heritage? I grew up attending a Baptist church so I probably should know this, but isn't there more than one governing body for American Baptists? And aren't there considerable differences in the heritage of Black [American] Baptist and White [American] Baptist {American=UnitedStaters}? Maybe these differences in heritage will be discussed in the Arts and Liturgy sections and in other sections.

I think that would make for some interesting and informative discussions.

Again, thanks for the work you are doing to launch this forum.

Best wishes,

Azizi
