Adventist World Church Launches News by E-mail

Silver Spring, Maryland, USA/ANN/APD     The Seventh-day 
Adventist Church  launched on August 3, 1999, a new system for 
distributing the denomination's world news by e-mail. The system 
operates through the Church's official website at 
www.adventist.org, and it allows anyone to subscribe free to the 
weekly news service.

"This new system is a great development in providing our news 
bulletins and releases to anyone who wishes," says Jonathan 
Gallagher, news director for the Adventist World Church. "Instead of 
having to check the website the news is automatically forwarded 
through e-mail to subscribers as soon as it is released. Now you can 
have up-to-date news and information from the Adventist News 
Network delivered immediately to your electronic mail box."

Subscription takes just moments by utilizing the "Subscribe 
Adventist News" page from the front page of www.adventist.org. 

"This is another advance for our website," says John Beckett, 
technical web master at the Seventh-day Adventist Church World 
Headquarters and designer of the system. "We continue to work to 
make the site as useful as possible. The list server that operates this 
service is separate from the main web server and this helps ensure 
all e-mail addresses remain confidential."

Other recent additions to the site include a search function for the 
Church Yearbook, a listing of all Adventist entities with directory 
information, and an improved menu to aid site navigation.
