Linking Mennonites

A very popular aspect of the internet is electronic mail. E-mail allows one to send messages electronically to anyone in the world who has an e-mail address. If you have an e-mail address, you can also subscribe to an e-mail distribution list. There are thousands of e-mail lists which focus on a variety of topics. Individuals can make comments about a particular topic, provide information of interest to individuals in the group, or simply ask questions. To receive messages from an e-mail list, you simply send a subscription message to the administrator of the list. Once you are placed on the list, every message that is sent to the list is distributed as an e-mail message back to you.

One e-mail distribution that is of interest to Mennonites is the MennoLink. The MennoLink is actually a set of e-mail distribution lists covering a variety of topics of interest to Mennonites. The following is a list of just a few of the large number of lists that one can subscribe to:
