About FollowingChrist.org

Mirth pleaseth some, to others 'tis offence,
Some commend plain conceit, some profound sense;
Some wish a witty Jest, some dislike that,
And most would have themselves they know not what.
Then he that would please all, and himself too,
Takes more in hand than he is like to do.

· Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack, 1733

We want to help you understand FollowingChrist.org and some of our local customs. So here we offer five things:

Disclaimer

The opinions expressed by contributors to FollowingChrist.org are not necessarily those of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, Graduate & Faculty Ministries, or the Following Christ 2002 conference leadership. The beverage you are about to enjoy is hot. This bag is not a toy.

Browser Info

We have designed the FollowingChrist.org website to be easily accessible. We have made sure, for instance, that pages are "light" so that your download times are kept to a minimum. Accessibility includes compatibility with as broad a range of web browsers as possible, for both Macs and Windows PCs. We hope you will have no problems with our site.

It's nevertheless true that newer browsers simply work better than the early versions dating to the beginning days of the Web. Therefore we strongly recommend that you use a current version of either Internet Explorer or Netscape. We have tested FC.org satisfactorily with IE 5 and later and with Netscape 4.79 and later.

Bible Info

Unless otherwise noted, all quotations from the Bible at FollowingChrist.org are given in the New Revised Standard Version.

Links for Books and Other Media

Throughout FollowingChrist.org, you'll notice that we often link the titles of books (or references to other media, including music and films) to either InterVarsity Press (one of the co-hosts of Following Christ 2002) or to Amazon.com. We do this for two reasons. Most importantly, we want you to have easy access to full information about books we discuss. (We might add here that not all the books so linked do we necessarily recommend or endorse.) Secondly, as you can imagine, we also want to make it easy for readers to buy these books, if they so desire.

A word about our links in association with Amazon.com: We participate in the Amazon Associates program (as anyone can) and so will receive a percentage of all revenues they derive from sales we refer to them. We don't want to give any impression whatsoever that we're pressuring you to buy all these books we link — but we don't want to pass up the opportunity to add an additional revenue stream to benefit Following Christ 2002 and its delegates. All income we derive from your purchases at Amazon.com (if any) will directly benefit the conference and its delegates, via the general operation and scholarship funds.
