This is a voluntary listing service for home pages and e-mail addresses of individual Quakers, or others wishing to be associated with Quakers. I will make entries at the request of the person concerned. Please send me details of what you would like to be listed - your home page URL or your e-mail address or both - and the name of the Meetings or groups that you belong to, or are associated with - including any monthly or local Meeting. If you are an isolated Friend, then please tell me and I will list you simply under the country or geographical area as a whole.
Caution: though I ask on the list for people not to send unsolicited junk e-mail ("spam") it is unfortunately impossible to prevent. The list has occasionally been used for this purpose by unscrupulous people, who might be propagating scams. Not only people, but also now automated programs trawling web pages for e-mail addresses. As a result of problems experienced, I have adopted the policy of not putting mailto links, and of splitting the e-mail address into chunks, so that it is not so easy to recognise automatically. However, this has now been broken into. My guess is that it will be increasingly impossible to have an e-mail address on a web page in any way that is humanly readable, without being gathered automatically in some way.
If you are very sensitive to the amount of junk mail you receive, you may wish not to be listed here or anywhere. However these pages do not have a high visibility, and if your e-mail address is anywhere else on the web, you are unlikely to be any worse off through appearing here as well. And it may help Quakers find you!
Another caution to people who have not had a lot of experience on the Internet: some e-mails are faked by malicious programs, not only people. While it is safe to read the body of an e-mail, unless you are absolutely certain of the origin and content, it is unsafe to view attachments. I have personally been sent very many e-mails from the "SirCam" worm in August 2001, and the "Klez" worm in June-July 2002.
A sensible standard is that no-one should cause anyone else to be listed on a Web page without their full agreement about the nature and content of the listing. Please respect this. Naturally, I cannot take responsibility for the contents of other pages listed here. The people who ask for a listing are expected to take this responsibility.
There are a number of possibilities for listing established Quaker Meetings or groups in Europe (of any variety). The first is a link to a web page held elsewhere. Secondly, I could list the e-mail address of an electronic correspondent. A third alternative is that I could set up a separate Web page on the same server as this page. On that page, any information could be given: for example, places and times of public meetings; or contact details for an appointed correspondent.
For a Meeting to be listed, I would like (where possible) to see the text of a minute of the relevant Meeting, in which the Meeting asks to be included, along with the requested information. In the case of requesting a web page on this server, please make it clear who (which of you) is to take responsibility for checking the information on the page, and informing the maintaining person of any changes.
Where any country or Meeting can provide this service internally, I will be very happy to provide a link to your list instead of (or as well as) listing entries here.
To be added to the list, please send e-mail, with the names of every level of meeting you are associated with, to me at euro@simongrant.org .
