My dearest friends in Christ, at this moment in time, we have reached a milestone in the history of CW - this posting is the 10,000th!!And this is thanks to you all for taking the time to visit, to read, to comment, contribute, criticise and to also quietly converse with me.
This posting is a far cry from when I first started on this journey back on Friday, December 15th 2006, and ever since, with each posting, another step in discernement has been taken.
The very first posting was indeed the most important as it was the Mission Statement and it is reproduced hereunder and please let me know if you think I have stuck to it:
It is my intention to provide a comprehensive, informative and accurate portrayal of matters religious and spiritual in Ireland and if so deemed to be of benefit, other areas of the world.
At all and each time, the articles of information posted here will be independently verified at least 3 times and from variant sources so that no posting is verified twice in the same week by the same person/organisation and this ensures total independence and trust in relation to aforementioned articles.
Each article stands or falls on the merits of the evidence used to support it.
Even throughout the publishing of postings to this site, this Mission Statement has been constantly kept to the fore.
However, earlier this month, I did ask you all to submit whatever changes you feel should be made to the Mission Statement and that invitation still stands....
