wfn.org | Worldwide Faith News Seeks Comments and Suggestions from Users

[Worldwide Faith News <wfn@igc.org>]

This a request for help from those who use Worldwide Faith News.  This
is our second such request in seven years.

The Worldwide Faith News Advisory Group is seeking comments and
suggestions from users of the WFN data base of news releases ,
and from subscribers to the WFN-NEWS religion news wire.

The Advisory Group is composed of communication executives
(by various titles) from the WFN participating faith groups.  A listing
of the Advisory Group is on the web site at:

http://www.wfn.org/advisory.html

Worldwide Faith News is now in the seventh year of operation.
Testing was done during the Fall of 1995 and the site officially
opened on December 24th that year. More than 20,000 official
news releases from faith groups around the world have been
placed in the searchable data base and a growing number
of faith groups and organizations are joining in the WFN project.

We invite your responses.  If you wish them kept private, please tell us so.

 From time to time the participating and funding organizations ask about
user comments and we would like to share responses on that very limited basis.
WFN does not do advertising and comments will not be used in public.

WFN does not share email addresses with any other organization.

If you have general comments you wish to share with us, please send them to:
