The Christian Humanist Forum will remain open for business.  However, because Michial and I have been getting dozens of spambot application emails every day (the last time I checked the forum’s website, over two thousand had applied to post on CHF), we will no longer receive forum applications by email.  If you wish to join the forum, fill out the registration page there, then send an email to thechristianhumanist (at) gmail.com with your user name.  We’ll go in manually and add you to the forum.

Thank you, and keep listening and reading!
