E-mail Lists & Groups

This page offers access to a variety of worship, liturgy and spirituality-related discussions. E-mail discussion lists and web-based groups come and go on the Net. We welcome news of interesting lists / groups worthy of mention even as we welcome news of the demise of old ones. Please contact Wendell Grahlman [e-mail] with details.

In addition to those lists / groups mentioned here, several others may be found under "liturgy" at the Yahoo! Groups site.
