CoG's NextGen: Resources for a New Generation of Witches
Check out the latest addition to the CoGWeb! It contains lots of information, resources and links for teens. NOTE: Due to a flurry of requests, we have just added a commentary on the movie, The Blair Witch Project. Take a look.
In light of the recent media attention surrounding Witches in the military, we thought it would be of interest to provide links for the following:
- US Army Chaplain's Pamphlet 600-75 on Accommodating Religious Practices
- Department of Defense Directive 1300.17 on Accommodating Religious Practices (excerpted)
- A1995 report provided to the DoD concerning Religious Accommodation in the Military.
