‘Let no one who is not eager for truth and peace enter here’ (Plato)

Articles on this site express varying points of view, to encourage mature thinking on serious issues. The assumption is that you will want to study a controversial topic from various angles before you arrive at a conclusion, rather than simply believe what someone told you when you were impressionable! (So some stuff here is ‘hot’. Proceed at your own risk!). See the Statement of Faith for John Mark Ministries' theological stance.

Perhaps you could select a trusted friend with whom to exchange life-stories. One idea might be to start with the […]

About This Site

Update September 2004: The site has moved to a new address (still hosted generously by Pastornet/ACIS). We had to move to a sub-domain so we could get the statistics program to work. The new address is http://jmm.org.au/. Having the site on a sub-domain also makes the Google search easier (Google searches can only be limited […]
