A group of us are planning to have a synchroblog on 8 October on the general topic "Interreligious dialogue".
If you would like to take part, just write a blog post on that day with your thoughts on interreligious dialogue, and, as soon as you have posted it, send me information about your post (see below) and add the list of other participants in the synchroblog to your post when the list is available. You should also tag your post with "metareligionrap" and a tag for your own religious (or irreligious) background, and post it to del.icio.us with those tags too. They will then appear on the Metareligion blog aggregator at http://religionrap.blogspot.com
I suggest that we post as follows:
People in North and South America post in the early morning
People in Europe and Africa post about noon
People in the Middle East, India etc post midafternoon
People in eastern Asia, Australia, New Zealand etc post in the evening
As soon as you have posted your contribution, copy the URL for your post from your browser and send it to me in an e-mail message in the following format
NA Poster's name
BL Poster's blog name
TI Title of your post
URL Url of your post
REL Your religious background
EM Your e-mail address
If you use that format -- with the preceding tags in capital letters followed by a single space, and each piece of information on a separate line (it can word-wrap), I will be able to import it straight into a database without re-typing, and produce a report with the HTML code for the links which can then be appended to your post. I will post them on my contribution, and the easiest thing will be to copy and paste them from there. But I will also send it by e-mail to all the registered contributors (to the e-mail address you provide, so don't munge it).
If you send it to me by e-mail at
shayes (at) dunelm.org.uk
it will avoid cluttering up the mailing lists with lots of messages about addresses and titles of blog posts.
We will discuss the Synchroblog post on the interfaith forum Religionrap
For what it's worth the membership of the interfaith list (Religionrap) is as follows (so far):
Pagan 53%
Christian 23%
Jewish 7%
Buddhist 7%
Other 7%
No Muslims or Hindus yet, it seems.
If you want to know more about the Religionrap discussion forum see Notes from underground: Interfaith dialogue and Religionrap.

Sadly, I took a break from my blog to re-evaluate myself after the dispute that arose there. I did not make the conscious decision not to participate. I didn't see your comment until today.
