----'''WikiChristian''' is free textbook of [[Bible|Biblical]] [[Christianity]] that does not have a sole author but has many contributors around the globe. It was started in May 2004 and now contains [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles (not including Bible verses and other public domain texts) and [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}]] total pages.
Of the WikiChristian pages, some are full of information whereas others are small and need work. Committed Christians who feel comfortable with this wiki'''A note s statement of faith and who have a deep interest in understanding and communicating the Christian faith are the primary editors of this wiki. WikiChristian particularly seeks editors who are either working in Christian ministry (both ordained and non-ordained roles) or have studied aspects of Christianity deeply (especially if through tertiary studies). Having editors like this helps maintain the focus and emphasis of this wiki on a form of Christianity that is informed by [[Graham Llewellyn Grove|Ga Biblical worldview.GHaving workers in ministry and/or Christians who have deeply studied their faith helps ensure that the information is relevant and accurate.]]'''
This wiki site was set up by a man by the name of Prab R Tumpati in late 2004. I set up a wiki site on wikibooks.org in January 2005, ===[[WikiChristian Vision|Vision]] and upon looking for it in some search engines I discovered this site, as well as an even older Christian wiki site set up by a friendly English minister. It seems to me that there was no point in having lots Policies of separate wiki sites for Christianity - so I'm making this site the one I contribute to. It would be wonderful if you contribute to this site to. Below is the original "About" note I placed on the wikibooks.org WikiChristian===
HelloWikiChristian is both an ''encyclopedia'' and ''textbook'' and a ''wiki'' community. WikiChristian is set up with the belief that every Christian, regardless of age, race, education, and gender has something of value to offer! Unfortunately due to enormous amounts of spam in recent years it became untenable to maintain the wiki as an open wiki that anyone could edit, thus editing rights are currently restricted but we hope that significant editing restrictions does not become a permanent state of affairs.
2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ came With time we particularly hope to earth see WikiChristian become an incredibly useful reference on any topic related to save each person from his rebellion against God. He was crucified, sufferring the punishment that was meant to be for me and you. Yet Jesus lives today, and millions of people around the world know him as their personal saviour and Lord[[Christianity]]. It seems to me that the essence of Christianity is so simple that even a child can in some ways understand it, yet start to explore it in more depth, and you'll soon realise that even a life-time isns articles do ''not''t enough need to really grasp it. In fact, human endeavour alone cannot even begin to grasp it. In truth, Christianity cannot be learnt - instead it must be experienced and lived. Christianity is about being in of a neutral point of view (personal relationship with our creator, and no relationship is something that opinions can be learnt voiced), as long as the author of the article makes it clear what his or studied - it her background is something real and living. Of course, Christians desire a closer walk with God - For guidance though on the slant of this wiki please do see our [[Wikichristian.org:Page Layout|Page Layout and part of that will involve personal study Writing Guide]] and evaluation [[Statement of their faithFaith]] pages.
For a while now I've dreamt of creating an online encyclopedia WikiChristian intends to be a reference of some of the finer details of Christianitypoint for factual information, original texts, church history and contemporary issues. Of courseBible versions, this is something I could never accomplish - my faith is weakBible dictionaries, song lyrics and I certainly cannot claim personal testimonies of Christians. We intend to have create a good understanding of most wiki community of Christians from around the issues globe who can voice their views, share their ideas and history of the church. There are thousands of Christian websites on the internet already, many of them very good help others understand Christianity and worthwhile. This is perhaps just another one of those websites. However, the whole point of this website is to allow anyone at all to add its principles! Simply - WikiChristian wants torepresent, document and link everything related to alter Christianity but from the website. Every Christian has something perspective of value to offer other Christians, regardless of age, race, education and gender. My hope is that Christians everywhere decide to add their own articles to this site so that it becomes a useful reference. If you are not a Christian and you want to submit an article, thatthe world's fine too - we can all learn from everybody's understanding, even if we don't agree with their perspective.committed Christians!
Please create any new links for sub-topics where-ever you believe they are needed, trying to keep the directory structure logical and clear. If you submit any articles, keep them as short as possible, and please do not break any copyright laws. When you create a link for your article, place your name or initials in brackets after the title - this way, if you submit multiple articles and people like or dislike your style or perspective, they can easily decide to view or skip your article. Also, at the end of an article you submit, could you please put your name and if your article voices your opinions please also write a brief note describing your Christian background under your name at the end of the article, so that the reader understands your perspective better (for example, if you write an article on purgatory, let the reader know if you consider yourself Roman Catholic or not). Finally, please don't alter anyone else's articles (unless you know that the work has been plagiarised or is incorrect) - if you do have something you want to write, just add a new link to a new page on the same topic.===Who Started WikiChristian?===
ThanksWikiChristian was started by two Christian believers who happen to be medical doctors by profession, Dr.[[User:Prab|Prab R Tumpati]] in USA and Dr. [[User:Graham grove|Graham L Grove]] in Australia. While the secular world has so many wiki projects going on, we felt a need for a wiki forum for all Christians so that we can share what we believe, who Jesus Christ is and how God loves this world. Their own philosophies about WikiChristian can be found in the following links* [[User:Prab/About WikiChristian|A note from Prab]]* [[User:Graham grove/About WikiChristian|A note from Graham]]
Your brother ===Major Developments in Christ, WikiChristian's History===
[[Graham Llewellyn Grove]]Through its history WikiChristian has generally developed gradually and progressively. In mid 2008 a major overhaul of the organization of the site began when Robert Murphy helped arrange a number of measures including uploading the entire Bible in a number of languages and translations, verse by verse. We are incredibly grateful to him for all his work.
January 2005Through the years 2009 to 2015 WikiChristian was hit by an incredible amount of vandalism and spam which almost shut WikiChristian down. To save the site editing was closed down and the site lay essential dormant through these long years. In 2015 its founders and senior editors Prab and Graham attempted to bring WikiChristian back into activity. Please put WikiChristian in your prayers as it aims to be an incredibly useful source of information for Christian disciples everywhere. ===Questions and Answers=== ;What Commercial Interest Do you have?:We have absolutely no commercial interest what so ever. ;What is your mission?:Our mission is to provide a [[Christian]] encyclopedia and be a wiki based forum for all Christian writings, serve as a repository for all Christian Classic works expanding the usefulness of the content by wiki internlinking the key words, provide a contemporary free Bible Dictionary created by users and last but not least build an open source Wiki Amplified Translation of the Bible.  ==Links==* [http://siteanalytics.compete.com/wikichristian.org/?metric=uv# SnapShot of WikiChristian at Compete]* [http://www.quantcast.com/profile/traffic-compare?domain0=wikichristian.org&domain1=&domain2=&domain3=&domain4= Traffic to WikiChristian at Quantcast.com] {{returnto}} [[Christianity]] -> [[Christian literature, art, music and media]] -> [[Christianity and the Internet]] -> [[Christian wikis]] [[Category:Christian wikis]][[Category:Internet]][[Category:WikiChristian]]
