Dear
Fellow-Believers,
Greetings
to all and welcome to our new web-site for The Unity of the Spirit.
We
hope this new format will make it easier for interested believers to
be able to take advantage of the resources we have produced over the
years. I hope that everyone will take some time to browse through the
Headings above. In particular, I would point out that we now have all
of the back issues of The Unity of the Spirit archived in an
attractive PDF format. In addition, most of the major articles from
these past issues are also now arranged by topics in PDF form and can
be easily found, read, or downloaded to share with others. As time goes
on we will continue to add new articles to the topical list and will
call your attention to them as appropriate. In the Recommendations Heading
we will continuously update the recommended Bibles and Bible Study Aids
as we gain new information on books, etc. that we believe are particularly
helpful for believers. Finally, this column will be an on-going blog
that will be written by myself and other believers. It will be on-going
but not according to any particular schedule. It will deal will all
manner of topics related to endeavoring to help believers to grow together
as God's people in the light of the unity of the Spirit in the bond
of peace.
A
great deal of work has been put into this new format for our web-site
and there are two people in particular that I would like to thank. First,
Adam Kleczkowski, who was the web-manager for our first web-site that
served us so well for so many years. After years of working at Cambridge
University he and his family are moving to Stirling, Scotland where
he has just begun a new job as a Professor at Stirling University. Adam
has been a close friend and brother in Christ since our days together
in Cracow, Poland in the mid-1980s and he will continue to help with
this web-site as well. Second, my dear wife, Dorota Temple, has put
an enourmous amount of time and effort into setting up this new web-site.
Her diligence, efforts, and efficiency in the midst of so many other
responsibilities simply amaze me. But that is only one more thing that
amazes me about her in our 23 years of marriage! Dorota will continue
to work closely with me in the administrative and technical aspects
of this web-site and in helping it to be the most effective web-site
it can be in helping God's people.
Our
goal throughout has been that this web-site would be simple, attractive
and easy to use. In addition, we hope that the quality of the articles,
information, and recommendations we make can be a true blessing in helping
God's people to speak the truth in love so that together we can grow-up
in all things into the head, Christ (Eph. 4:15-16). The information
presented is meant to be an aid to both individual Christian believers
and to Bible fellowships, churches and other groups of believers.
