About this web site:

Location:

The group that complies and maintains this web site is located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. However much of the site's content -- perhaps most -- relates to developments in the United States, where most of our visitors live.

We are located in the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and Haudenosaunee peoples. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties. The term "Haudenosaunee" refers to the Iroquois Confederacy comprising of the: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora Nations.

Content:

Unlike almost all other religious web sites, we don't promote the beliefs and practices of a single denomination, faith group, or sect within a single religion. Instead we try to explain the beliefs, practices, and history of a wide range of faith groups. We promote religious tolerance, freedom, understanding, coexistence, and cooperation. We also promote equal rights and treatment of persons of all genders, gender identificatons, races and nationalities. Other web sites that discuss religious information generally include only news that has developed in the immediate past -- perhaps during the previous day. This web site often tells complete stories from beginning to end, sometimes covering a few weeks or even years. An example was the story of the 50 murders at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand during 2019-MAR. We covered developments over 17 month's time in five articles. Another was the 2019-APR fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. We consolidated information from over a dozen news articles published over a many months into two articles about the tragedy. According to "The Book Of Odds," the chance that a web site will contain pornography is 1 in 8.3. If you are looking for porn here, you will be disappointed. We only have words and the occasional non-pornographic image.

Conventions used:

Visitors come to this web site from all over the world. So, we had to select a uniform style for dates. We chose a Year-Month-Day sequence, like 2020-AUG-27, which is clear and unambiguous. If we had used a convention like 04-11-20 then some visitors would read this as April 11, 2020 and others would decode it as NOV-04, 2020.

To designate years, rather than use the AD/BC convention which is Christian in origin, we use the newer universal designations:

CE is equivalent to AD and refers to the "Common Era:" dates that run from 1, when the Jewish prophet, Jesus, was about five years of age, to today and beyond.





BCE is equivalent to BC. It refers to dates "Before the Common Era." that run before 1 CE.

A sampling of recent new/updated reports: This should give you an idea of the range of topics that we cover.
