Subject: Mormon bulletin boards
For some time now I have been vaguely aware of the existence somewhere
of one or more electronic bulletin boards relating to Mormonism and
issues discussed by the "liberal" Mormon community (women and the
priesthood, Mark Hoffman, the Church's stance on homosexuality and
abortion, the continuing practice of plural marriage by fundamentalists,
Mormon attitudes toward war and peace, the New Mormon History, etc.). I
called the Sunstone people in Salt Lake City today, but they knew even
less about these bulletin boards than I do.
Does anyone know where such bulletin boards are and how I can gain
access to them? I am really more interested in discussing Mormonism with
intelligent and informed people than I am in entering into a dialogue
with Mormon-bashers or other evangelical anti-"cult" crusaders.
I will appreciate any information anyone can give me.

Subject: Self-Immolation?
I am interested in investigating behavior as text, and how this
is adapted by different cultures. (Byronic posturing in early 19th
century Russia is a prime example). Can anyone point me toward
religious or literary precedents for the practice of self-immolation--
as statement?

Subject: query:Jean Comoroff
I am up against a grant deadline and do not have access to my library
because of the holiday. Can anyone helpme identify work by Jean Comoroff
?? I am working on the metaphor of the "body politic" especially in the
Middle Ages and was told Comoroff might be helpful.... Many
thanks. Kate Forhan, Siena College, Loudonville, New York.

Subject: Query: African Alphabetisation Standards
Dear list(en)ers,
I'm looking for refences on standardisation of African orthographies. In
special I'm looking for a document on the ``Rejaf Language Conference''
(1928). I'm also looking for a document of the UNESCO (about 1969) for
the standardisation of several West African alphebatisations.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
