Author Guidelines
The Report serves as a clearinghouse for information relevant to
the status of Christianity and Christian ministry in the former Soviet
Union and Central and Eastern Europe. It is designed to encourage cooperation
and coordinated efforts among Christian ministries working in the East.
Other primary objectives of the Report are to disseminate information
that will reduce unnecessary duplication and enhance cross cultural sensitivity;
to highlight positive examples of a winsome witness in the East and mistakes
to avoid; and to inform readers of critical issues and valuable resources
concerning the church and ministry in the former Soviet Union and East Central Europe.
We especially seek articles that:
-
focus on more than one country
-
focus on the work of more than one denomination or ministry
-
survey a type of outreach, such as prison ministries or Christian publishing
-
survey a particular church-state issue in various countries, such as church
property restoration, constitutional or legislative threats to religious
liberty, or various church positions on the issue of revelations of past
state compromise of church officials
-
highlight cooperative efforts among Western ministries working in the East
or among indigenous church or parachurch groups;
-
treat Orthodox-Catholic-Protestant relations
-
highlight examples of culturally sensitive ministry
-
stress immediately applicable lessons and practical information
-
provide information on print and audio-visual resources, including cost
and order information
-
provide comparative statistical information, such as cult membership, church
membership, or number of missionaries by country
-
itemize addresses, telephones, faxes, and E-mail addresses for relevant
organizations and contacts in the region and in the West
