This is a first - I am 60 and a recent born again christian.
I locked myself away in a caravan for 10 years suffering depression, alcoholism and self harm thoughts. I had a fall last May 2010 and finished up in a Vet hospital on detox and debrief of my fears etc.
My concern is: before this I didn't really know God and if I didn't fall and cause myself to go to hospital, I would probably still be locked away in my caravan.
Question: How many others are out there in that situation - what can I, we do to let these people, and there a lot of them, know, there is a way out of that black hole. I found my way by choosing to travel down God's road. I certainly wouldn't recommend my way tho - it hurt! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edge60 ( talk • contribs) 10:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Are there no newletters after Aug 2007 ?? Is there something I can also help ?

Post your Lenten observance in this section. The judges will review all of the entries and the day after Easter the winner of the best response will win a shiny barnstar. "Best response" is defined as being entertaining yet reverent.– Lionel ( talk) 22:37, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
I saw your revision of my section concerning the liturgical year. Rather than defining "best response" as being entertaining, perhaps we could use the word "thoughtful," which better reflects the somber tone of the season. I look forward to your response.

In the DYK section, would you like me to collate the WP:X DYK's from the previous month for each issue?-- Gilderien Chat| List of good deeds 14:46, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Does the Newsletter delivery system work? I got one random newsletter when I wasn't even part of the project (but I was a member of a sub-project), but now I don't get any newsletters. Jargon777 Leave a message 15:15, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
I've just received a copy of the April 13 newsletter, even though I never signed up for it. I'm told this is because I'm mentioned in relation to a DYK ( Church of St Bartholomew, Yeovilton), however when I took a look at the newsletter I see Wells Cathedral, which has recently been promoted to GA, wasn't included.— Rod talk 13:19, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

At WP:ANI#Taking a position on whether Billy Graham was a "profound loss" to Wikipedia. we mentioned some problems with the current author of the newsletter. Suggest holding off on any further work on this until the POV issues are resolved. jps ( talk) 01:29, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you all for your work in this area, certainly a very important one in the encyclopedia. In view of that, I think it's probably particularly important to err on the side of caution in POV issues in communications on behalf of the project; editors are entitled to their personal opinions (and couldn't avoid having them if they tried!) but for the project I think even bylined comments should take care to adhere to NPOV in order to encourage the same approach in the project's editing, as well as inclusivity to a diverse editorship. My personal concerns regard the comment about Billy Graham and the one about Black Christmas (I'm not sure why it being at GA is strange or lol-worthy?) To me both could be resolved simply by shortening the remarks by striking the "profound loss" and the "how did that get in there lol" comments.
Thanks for considering my thoughts; I really appreciate your work to energize the project. The encyclopedia is the better for it.
