Begun about ten years ago, Fearless Mountain newsletter has provided news, Dhamma reflections, announcements and other information from Abhayagiri Monastery. Its original editor, Barry Kapke, turned over the reins to Dennis Crean in 1998, and the newsletter’s format and design has remained largely unchanged since then. With the growing popularity of the monastery’s website and other means of electronic communication, it seems time to reassess the role of the newsletter. Likewise, with Dennis’s interest in relinquishing some of his responsibilities, an opportunity has been created for new volunteers to get involved in the remaking of Fearless Mountain.

It is hoped that a revisioning process will take place during the remaining weeks of 2006 and that a plan will be in place to create the “new and improved” newsletter beginning in 2007. Volunteers will likely be needed in the areas of transcribing, editing, layout, proofreading, etc. If you are interested in helping with Fearless Mountain in any way, please contact the monastery to let us know.
And keep an eye out for something new in 2007!
