------------------------------------------------------------------------ * * * 2006 ANNUAL GOANETTERS MEET - GOA * * * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHERE: Foodland Cafe - Miramar Residency - Miramar, Goa
WHEN: December 21, 2006 @ 4:00pm More info: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2006-December/051398.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please define the issue as it should be: off-topic or on-topic. Offtopic posts should be discouraged, and used on the rarest of rare occasions. I would be happy to posts of religious traditions beyond Christianity (simply because the latter is already well represented). Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, whatever. Of course, I won't shed any tears for atheism/agnosticism because that is well represented (over represented?) already? It would also be nice to hear women's voices on religion.
