Back Issues of the Crimson & White Connection |
 |
The C&WC is printed about every 3 weeks on average, 18 times a year is our target. (We don't always hit 18, but we try to.)
These are most of the back issues, only going back to part of 2004; the C&WC started publishing in the Summer of 1998.
If you're looking for a particular article or to see the variety of types of things we write about, look at the descriptions/titles of teh articles for each issue. That's what this archieve is for. Or maybe you need a resource for yourself, or for someone else. Click on the link at the beginning of each issue's description to open the Acrobat file. Then you can download or print it.
Subscribe and we'll send the latest issue and add you to the database for the next issue. These are for the purpose of "sampling" not regular reading. We want to put the C&WC in your mail box.
We have recently concieted to delivery by email. We do it for those that are out-of-the-country, so why not others. If email is what you want, that's how we'll send it. |
Don't miss the witness postcards, too.
Want to get on our mailing list? ... You'll need to download and print an issue or at least print the subscription form on page 7 in any issue. Fill it out and MAIL it in. Print so we can read it, please. (I have taught school for many years and some people's handwriting, well, you get the idea. Print clearly, please.) Or, you can email us ALL the same information that is requested on the form in every issue.
These are in Adobe Acrobat pdf format. You need Acrobat Reader or Acrobat. You can download Acrobat Reader FREE from www.Adobe.com. You can open and read them on-line, or you can open and print, or download and print them.
Archive of recent back issues... for reference... and if you want to read a couple samples... and so we can refer people to here and they can see what we publish and decide to subscribe or maybe even distribute the C&WC at their church. * * * This is only supposed to be an archive. We want you to get the C&WC in your mailbox. * * * It seems we're always working on getting caught up on uploading. Please be patient. * * *
- - The most current issues of the C&WC are not available online. We want to put mail in a student's mail box, not have them come and get it online. We will deliver by e-mail to those who prefer that. (If you are outside the U.S., then we will require email delivery due to cost and dependability. Some of the Acrobat files are large, so they may take a little time to download.) Issues are usually not uploaded to this web site for at least 8 weeks after the issue date. - - Some of '04, most of '05, then '06, '07, '08 are here. Issues from '09 are posted as I get time to do this.
