Hello all:

Alan Rouse over at Christian Unity is working on a project of inventorying the doctrines of the Church of Christ. His plan is to get the inventory going so that we can then analyze those doctrines in light of the Command, Example, and Necessary Inference (CENI) hermeneutic and see what insights we can gain on CENI.

Alan has moved the inventory to the Restorationwiki so that everyone can add and edit doctrines. If you’d like to check it out or contribute, feel free to head over there. Registration is not required, but is encouraged. Some of you from the more conservative congregations (such as JeffB and Jason) might be a great help on such doctrines associated with non-institutional or one-cup congregations.

Hello all:

I transferred everything over to a new server last night and this morning.

The bad news first:

I haven’t had time to uploaded the MySQL databases for Restorationwiki, so it is currently down. Also, I haven’t uploaded the MySQL databse for phpBB either, so it is currently out of commission on Restorationmovement.org

I recently installed a classified ad server to use on Restorationmovement.org as well, but I haven’t given out the link, and its down, so I doubt anyone cares. That will be up soon though so that if you’re church is looking for a preacher, or if you want to advertise your business or service, for free, you’ll be able to. It seems like a nice little system.

Good News:

Our hosting services gives me six, count them, six, domain names. So, Restorationmovement.org is actually Restorationmovement.org, and not clarkecomments.com/restoration. That also means that there can be restorationmovement.org email addresses. I might offer some of these out if anyone is interested.

My wife finally has hosting space for her domain name that we bought a long time ago but didn’t.

I have three more spaces for domains, and my server will pay to register the names. I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do with those spaces, but it leaves lots of space for future projects.

I have 20 gigs of webspace. So we shouldn’t ever run out…

The new hosting service should be much more reliable, and they actually give refunds if they cause downtime issues.

Finally…thank you to all of you that recommended different web hosting ideas..I just had to go down with this one, it was too good to turn down.

Also, it looks like the notification emails aren’t really working. If you’ve gotten a whole bunch, let me know..but out of the several I sent, my test account only got one of them…

A couple bits of news today:

I added several publications to the list…including Leaven, POWER, and some others…if you know of other church of Christ publications or media that should be on this list, drop a comment or an email…also, if you know of publications from other streams of the Restoration Movement that aren’t listed here, comment or email as well….

If you tried getting on here earlier today you probably noticed some theme errors or even got a 404 error. Our webhost seems to be having some major problems, not only with this page but on other pages I own as well. I am investigating other web hosts and will probably fire the current one unless they really get their act together soon….I’ve had a lot of problems with them in the last few months.

Hello all:

Wow…I’m not even sure how do follow-up that last post after 60 comments….I’ve never had that many comments on one post before.

Anyway, as a couple of you know, after hanging out over at wikipedia for a while, I got inspired to create my own wiki over here about the Restoration Movement. It doesn’t have much on it, just a little bit of info here and there…. which is where you can help out… I know that several of my regular readers help maintain the church of Christ entry on wikipedia, so I have a feeling that it shouldn’t be too hard to get going well…I know Travis has a lot of input..

If you don’t know what a wiki is, google wikipedia and you’ll get the general idea. If you want to go and check it out, or add content, head on over to Restorationwiki and participate. It will only be as good as we all make it.
