Unless someone asks for it's return, this (unofficial and
unaffiliated, if you were wondering) site will no longer be a source for
Church of the Brethren news. Apparently
Newsline stories may not simply be reprinted even when Newsline is cited as the source.
Someone
at brethren.org really wished that this (Newsline blog) site shut down
operations. Although this site does not claim to be an official Church
of the Brethren website apparently that was confusing (although there are a
multitude of sites that also make no claim of being official Church of
the Brethren sites). The claim is that nothing is gained by copying in
its entirety each
Newsline; fair enough. But is it simply confusing to readers?
They asked us to "Please
stop, for the sake of users." Users have always had and will continue to have access to the additional material
available at brethren.org
(while that site allows it). This site never restricted any access to
brethren.org and kept Newsline links intact (although, in some instances
broken links were corrected).
