List of projects
Our last working session of the Summit
gave each person an opportunity to state what s/he would do with the information
and inspiration s/he received at the event. The result is listed below:
both specific projects people committed to putting together and a general
offering of skills. Many of the people listed below also volunteered to
help with others' projects.
The Pagan movement has three main avenues for interfacing:
festivals, publications, and the Internet. We are committed to using all
these resources to develop better organizations which more effectively
meet the needs of our people.
