CompuChurch (tm) Network (CCN)
Membership Application
General Information:
The CompuChurch Network is a networked association of Computer-
based telecommunications systems who are approved to offer one or
more of the services made available by CompuChurch (tm)
International Headquarters to Universal Life Church Ministers and
to prospective ULC Ministers in the network.
Presently, those services include:
ONLINE ORDINATION - Persons desirous of becoming legally
ordained ministers, free from any church-
imposed dogma, and responsible in
themselves to do that which is right
according to their own conscience and
beliefs, may become registered as legally
ordained ministers of the Universal Life
Church. Over 17,000,000 persons presently
hold credentials of ministry from the ULC.
ONLINE REGISTRATION - Universal Life Church Ministers may
register the names and mailing addresses of
those new ministers they have ordained "in
the field."
ULC_MINISTERS Echo - A privately distributed echo originating
from CompuChurch International Headquarters
Universal Life Church, FidoNet 1:3800/6,
for the exclusive use of ULC Ministers.
FILES - as they are added, a library of files
available for download to ULC Ministers to
assist them in the development of their
ministry and the establishment of
congregations.
Any or all of the services listed above may be made available to
the qualified caller depending upon the needs/wishes of the
participating SysOp. Costs of obtaining echo feed and
transmitting ordination information are at the expense of the
participating Sysop; however, efficient routing will be attempted
and/or honored by Headquarters as can be made practical with
growth of the network. The participating sysop is generally
responsible to the network and to CompuChurch as follows:
1) Transmits ordination information directly to International
Headquarters of CompuChurch in the specified format on at
least a monthly basis.
2) Validates and qualifies those callers requesting access to
the echos and enforces the echo rules privately with his
callers in complete cooperation with the echo moderator.
3) Makes available on at least a hold-for-pickup basis, any CCN
echos (as system configuration might permit) to facilitate
distribution to systems within the local area.
4) Terminates any feed as directed by CompuChurch.
5) Distributes no feed without specific authorization from
CompuChurch.
It is the hope of CompuChurch to impose as few restrictions as
possible on the participants of the network; the purposes of the
network being to further the communication between ULC Ministers
and to encourage the general increase in our numbers and thus
effectiveness in encouraging the doctrine of "Doing That Which Is
Right." More complete information on the scope and purposes of
CompuChurch may be found in the publication CCTXTBK.LZH available
on File Request from CompuChurch International Headquarters,
1:3800/6.
