Many of you will remember that some time ago I took over the running of the Ulster-Culture list. This was an unhappy compromise. The list existed, and nothing was happening. I took it over and still nothing happened, but I eventually got letters from people who admitted that the whole idea of a list even with the name Unionist was not going to work. Eventually I agreed and after making a resubmission this new list was granted to be by Rootsweb. In the past your list owners allowed me to advertise the Unionist -Culture list, so I am presuming upon their good nature in advertising this new list. I invite you all to join on this list. Briefly (very), you can subscribe to this new list in mail mode by sending a message to SCOTCH-IRISH-CULTURE-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains the word subscribe and nothing else. If you prefer digest mode, you should send the command instead to SCOTCH-IRISH-CULTURE-D-request@rootsweb.com. To unsubscribe, you should send the command "unsubscribe" to SCOTCH-IRISH-CULTURE-L-request@rootsweb.com (if in mail mode) or SCOTCH-IRISH-CULTURE-D-request@rootsweb.com (if in digest mode.) To switch from one mode to the other, you should unsubscribe from one and then subscribe to the other. I hope that people from these lists who were put off by the Unionist name will now feel able to contribute to this new list which seeks to reflect the Culture of that strange and mixed up group who have in common that we have used the North Chanel as a highway as we have bunted back and forward. Please contribute to the new list so that it is a goer. Thanks for your support in the past Edward Andrews Only by recovering prophetic and objective modes of preaching, in faithfulness to the gospel of Christ crucified and in contradiction to society's profane habits and priorities, can we truly challenge our dying culture and reveal to it its own possibilities for resurrection.
