DESCRIPTIONS of RESPONSIBILITIES:
=================================

Administrative Pastor:
----------------------

The Administrative Pastor of the Calvary Chapel Computer Ministry:
CalvaryNet, is Pastor Ralph Wood of Calvary Chapel Oceanside. The
Administrative Pastor has access to all CalvaryNet message base
communication. Please see the documentation "disclaim.txt" in the
Calvary Information File (CALV????.ZIP).  He is kept current
regarding all aspects of CalvaryNet operations through direct
communication on the Network or by the Network Administrator {John
Scudder}. Through prayer and supplication to our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ, the Administrative Pastor directs all operations and
functions of CalvaryNet.  He may allow the Network Administrator to
perform any or all network functions unsupervised at his
discretion.

Network Administrator:
----------------------

The Network Administrator is under the authority of the Administrative
Pastor.  The Network Administrator and founder of CalvaryNet is John
Scudder, who functions to preserve CalvaryNet for the Glory of God and
a Calvary Chapel Focus in directing all aspects of network business.
While the Network Administrator will heavily review input from other
branches of the CalvaryNet administration, he reserves the right to
direct all network decisions as the Holy Spirit directs him to do
so. The Network Administrator has taken great care in providing a
means for other branches of the CalvaryNet administrative body to
provide their input and concerns.  The Network Administrator will
represent CalvaryNet in all aspects of computer communication and
other aspects as will arise.


CalvaryNet Network Advisors:
----------------------------
The Network Advisors are not under the authority of any CalvaryNet
Administrative body.  They are Pastors, Sysops, and trusted friends
who provide wisdom as the Lord leads them regarding requests for
such by the Network Administrator, and function to provide direct
support for the Network Administrator.  Their input is prayerfully
considered, and relayed to The Administrative Pastor when
appropriate.  They provide a valuable spiritual support to
CalvaryNet's function and structure.

Calvary Chapel BBS Sysops:
--------------------------
Regarding CalvaryNet, the Calvary Chapel BBS Sysops are under the
Authority of the Network Administrator. Regarding their particular
BBS systems, if such are set up to directly represent a Calvary
Chapel Church, they are also under the subjection and authority of
their Senior Pastor or someone that their Pastor has authorized
such position.  Their function is to provide uninterrupted mail
transfer between their relaying BBS for CalvaryNet mail as stated
in the CC-SYSOP documentation.  They are also under agreement to
post the CCPOLICY.TXT file to their users prior to their users
having access to CalvaryNet communication.  When able, they are
responsible for monitoring or assisting the Conference Hosts on
their particular BBS.  They are also responsible for monitoring
CC-ADMIN and 4HisGlory on a consistent basis.  Please see the
CC-SYSOP.TXT file for further Sysop responsibilities.

CalvaryNet Hosts:
-----------------
CalvaryNet Hosts are under the authority of the Network
Administrator as well as the CalvaryNet BBS Sysops.  They are
basically responsible for monitoring and participating in their
chosen CalvaryNet conference according to the CCPOLICY.TXT or
Conference specific guidelines they set up.  Please see the
CC-HOST.TXT file for information regarding CalvaryNet Host
Guidelines.


THE FOCUS OF CALVARYNET:
------------------------
CalvaryNet focus in the past has been basically a "Fellowship in
the Love of Christ and the exchange of information" oriented.
As CalvaryNet grows, we have been expanding into areas of ministry
outreach, global connections,, teaching Christians and
non-Christians Biblical doctrine and Church beliefs, providing
support for those in need of prayer and Church assistance, and...
possible provision for orientation to future Calvary Chapel based
or community based evangelism.

Thus, the "expanded view" of CalvaryNet is to provide a Reach,
Teach, Mend and Send approach as a Calvary Chapel Ministry... while
strictly monitoring all aspects of the network to ensure that
communication adheres to the CCPOLICY.TXT statement in the manner
in which brethren respectfully communicate with each other. Any
opportunity to assist a brother to grow and become involved in
Calvary Chapel Ministries will be greatly encouraged, and receive
support from the CalvaryNet staff.

THE STRUCTURE OF CALVARYNET:
----------------------------
Then we come down to the nuts and bolts of CalvaryNet.  Great care
has been taken to allow for Pastor and Sysop interaction with the
processes of CalvaryNet.  Although the Administrative Pastor and
Network Administrators will seek to ensure a Calvary Chapel focus
is maintained on CalvaryNet, we do leave ourselves open to input
received from (1) Network "Advisors"; (2) Calvary Chapel Pastors;
and (3) Calvary Chapel relaying Sysops via the 4HisGlory
Conference.

As stated earlier, the HOST System for CalvaryNet Mail is The
Shepherd's Flock Family BBS in Oceanside, California.  The HOST
system is the main relay point for all CalvaryNet Mail.. sort of
the Grand Central Station as it were.  The Network Administrator
and Founder of CalvaryNet {John Scudder} will maintain contact with
CalvaryNet's Administrative Pastor (Ralph Wood) and relay all
network concerns for prayer and input... as well as for the
implementation of any network actions the Lord prompts through the
leadership of Pastor Ralph.

This happily brings us to the CalvaryNet Information packets. Each
month there is a new CalvaryNet ZIPPED (compressed) file that holds
a lot of info for Computer Users as well as prospective Sysops
regarding CalvaryNet.  This file is in the form of a CALV????.ZIP,
where the ???? stand for the month and year of that particular
information file.  For instance, the file for November 1995 is
CALV1195.ZIP. There is also a CalvaryNet Newsletter within this
information file. You can download this file from any Calvary
Chapel Computer Ministry.

The CALV????.ZIP file also contains the important file
CCPOLICY.TXT, which is a ASCII text file outlining the expected
behaviors on the Calvary Chapel Network.. and.. you will find that
these guidelines are also those that are expected behaviors on any
Christian Bulletin Board. We are a little strict here regarding how
the brethren communicate with one another... with the focus and
thrust always in "the love of Christ".

As an example... here are the first 4 "Rules of Conduct":

1. Let all your typing give glory to God; in respecting your
   brother, in treating your brother with brotherly love, and in
   your witness as a Child of God, and Ambassador for Christ...
   while communicating on CalvaryNet.

2. Let all bitterness, envy, strife, speaking evil of dignities and
   of government rulers be far from you.  Let backbiting be
   something far from you.  Shine as a light on a hill... and salt
   to savor the minds of each Christian and potential Christian on
   CalvaryNet.

   "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
    another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
                       {Ephesians 4:32}

3. Let all evil communication be far from you.  Don't judge your
   brother as being from the pit of hell... or as being from an
   evil spirit, nor to say evil things to your brothers... be
   kind.. treating your brothers and sisters with the respect you
   would want to be treated.

4. Above all.... love.. and forgive one another... for in doing so
   you show you have great command of the scriptures.. and of
   yourself.

  I think you will get the picture {smile}.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 Although the Network Administrator may officially present
 *suggestions* and/or practices on how a Calvary based ministry can
 give Glory to God in all their Ministry service, the CalvaryNet
 Administration will *not* actively nor routinely call each
 Ministry Connected with CalvaryNet (or any other Calvary Chapel
 Ministry) to monitor their process and their actions.. their door
 games or their files, or any other aspect of their Ministry.
 Calvary Chapel has from day one relied on teaching the Bible as a
 means of direction in the lives of others and has left it up to
 the Holy Spirit to change the lives and direction of the Body of
 Christ (church).  The CalvaryNet Administration will however, call
 those CalvaryNet Systems that have submitted an application for
 Network Relay, and will evaluate the Spiritual leading of such a
 ministry at that time of original application submission.  At such
 time, Calvary Chapel Ministries containing questionable and
 inappropriate material will be handled on a case by case basis.
 Any future reference to inappropriate material during the coarse
 of their ministry and connection with CalvaryNet will be also be
 reviewed on a case-by-case basis and be reviewed at that time. It
 is the express view of this ministry to minister in love regarding
 all Network Administrative functions... to teach forgiveness in
 every situation.. and seek to lead others through example and
 Biblical instruction.. to an enhanced and fruitful relationship
 with their Saviour Jesus Christ.

Please let me know if I can be of any more assistance my dear
friend.   I can be reached reached on the following resources:

With love in Christ...
