AFBA Committees
Steering Committee (SC) Meeting
(Please fill in the following; add notes, etc.)
Following are some notes gathered from e-mails from you folks that applies to this SC committee
General Tasks of SC: What is essential is that as we move forward; we do so under one united voice.
(Louis Hinton) Atlanta Faith Based Alliance - Message from Louis Re: SC Meeting Mar (Message #18)
I look forward to working with the new Steering Committee as we become a viable and purposeful group with hope, direction and answers for our community. Now is the time (during an election year) to make our voices heard. Now is the time that we step up to the plate as champions and defenders and the voice of a people without voice, hope and direction.
/Louis Hinton (from above e-mail message #18)
Our goal (SC) will be to set the stage for a whollyinclusive and united force working together to heal our community and
to give a voice to those who can't speak for themselves. (Louis) March 15th Steering Committee Meeting (Message #25)
General concerns about the AFBA general meetings: (Maressa) Re: April AFBA meeting date/time (Message #32)
I do want to express my concern that we are mindful, particularly when we convene a general meeting, that everyone is able to participate. Meeting at a restaurant where one is expected to purchase a meal, no matter how inexpensive, may prevent people from participating who may otherwise have participated. How meals are provided is one of those things that I'm sure we will eventually work out as a steering committee, but in the meantime, I want to be sure people don't feel unable to participate for any reason.
Finally, when the announcement goes out, as we discussed in our last meeting, people should be encouraged to answer the questions attached to the agenda and email them back or give them to some designated person, even if they can not attend the meeting so that we have the broadest input possible.
Conferance Calls: (Lorraine) Re: Mega church dialogue work (Message #34)
seems that nobody is taking charge to get that established. Needs to be someone who has access to a mutli-conference call phone system. We might need to establish "lead" persons in each area again so we know who the meeting/conf call coordinator is.
Anyone out there willing to pull us together for the CC?
I have a conference call number and access code we can use if we have a date and time for the meeting. The call in number is not toll free, but we can talk for up to 6 hours. (Maressa) Re: Mega church dialogue work (Message #35)
=========================
Contacting members and attendees: Maressa, would you be willing to create the whole group (listserve) email announcing this meeting? [April 12, 2008] (Lorraine) setting time for AFBA steering committee call (Message #41)
I know that studies show that email announcements might not be the best way to get those folks to the meeting...are others willing to divide up the names/phone #s for folks who attended in the past and give each a personal call asking them to come back and help give input that will help decide our vision and mission? I will agree to do that if others will....it's a much better bet that someone will come if they are called...and since it's been a while since the last general community meeting, it may be important to re-invigorate former attendees.
=========================
The steering committee consists of the following 15 members:
Pastor Paul Turner, Rev. Tessie Mandeville, Rev. Maressa Pendermon, Sandra Larson, Edonna Koon, Jai Ashantii, Lorraine Fontana,
Pastor Troy Sanders, Minister Adrian Bourie, Minister Bryan Edney, Dr. Dionne Bates, Rev. Dr. Kathi Martin (unconfirmed) and Minister Louis Hinton and at-large Bishop Yvette Flunder, Rev. Elder Jim Mitulski. (Louis, from an e-mail to me)

New Directions for pbwiki 2.0 beta (GLBT). (5) - (8)
(5) (a) Filling In Member Name. (If NamePlace holders are already on a wiki page as it was below.) Press "Edit" tab, Highlight "NamePlace" & then Type the Real Name. [Similar to (1) so far]
(b) [Now the new part] Do NOT "Save" yet. Now again highlight the Member Name you just typed in. And in the right-hand side "SideBar-like area, Press the "Insert a link to a new page" link. The "Insert Link" dialog box window appears; all three lines should be already filled in with correct items; press "OK" (Do this as many times as you need to for all names, etc.)
(c) Press "Save". Now a new link is made, but its wiki page is NOT made as of yet. This is done in (7) below.
(d) (The box should automactically be filled in as follows:"Link Type" line = "PBwiki Page"; "Page" line = "-New page-"; and "Page Name" = the words you just highlighted -Member Name, in this case- .
(e) IF Page Name line is blank, or wrong, cancel out of box and do (5) (b) again.
(f) Or, you could highlight that name or word(s) again, press CTRL-C to copy name then press the "Insert a link to a new page" again, and in the last line, if it is blank, not right, put cursor in line and press CTRL-V to paste name there. Now press "OK". But that line should be filled correctly automaticallly.
This new way is far easier then using (1) and (2) above.
or
(6) Typing in Member Name. (Such as on a new wiki page, or somewhere on current wiki page.) Press "Edit" tab. Put cursor where you want to start to type. Type the Member Name, & then do as in (5) (b) & (c) above, and then come back here.
(7) After page is SAVED, Click on that new link.
(8) Now just fill in the new page dialog box which is a full page, for that new link you just made.
(a) Top line says: "Name your new page:" The box should be automatically filled in with the correct name of that new link you just created (or made a few days ago).
(b) The next line says: "Would you like to apply a template?" Generally you just accept the default template which is "No template", make sure it is checked. Then press "Create new page" box.
(c) [I will be making sample pages of the other templates listed, and of others that I find, soon for you all to look at and maybe see how each could be adapted for our use, etc. Have fun experimenting on your own.]
(9) Filling in a new page just created. Notice that you are now automatically in "Edit" tab mode. Click in the open window and press "Return" key once to make an empty blank line. Press the "Insert Horizontal Line" menu button to insert an horizontal line under the blank line.
(a) Now place cursor on second line from top. In this space on any new wiki page, put your links to the main page you just came from and any other links you want. Look over at the SideBar-like area to your right under "Insert links". Look through the list of current wiki pages in this wiki site and Click on the page you want. When you click on the one you want, notice that a link to that wiki page is placed at the spot that your cursor was at in the main window. If you don't see the page you want in that list, scroll down to the end and click on "Show all ## Pages" [## = number of wiki pages at that moment]. Now all pages are listed, choose the one you want.
(b) Now highlight that new link on that page and press "B" in the menu to make it Bold.
(c) Place your cursor at end of that inserted link and press "Space Bar" 7 times to put a little space between links. Now choose another page to put a link to it . Repeat this as many times as you want for each new link on that page. (Remember to always link back to the page you just came from, or it will be hard to find that page again right off the bat, when you need it again. Links are very important on each page. Links are a navigation system to get around easily in the wiki site; they help you find the page you are looking for.
(d) When done, press "Save". (Sometimes after you do this, you may have to edit the page again if the little spaces between the links disappared after saving the page. Just go back in (edit) and put the spaces back in and save again.
(10) Format the page any way you see fit. Make text larger, smaller, different color, etc.
(a) Now the new page is ready for you to use, or for the other person you made it for to use.
