392) One way to share information throughout the PC(USA) would be to provide money so that every congregation would have a computer and modem that could be used for accessing a denominational electronic mail and conferencing system. Then, news and minutes of meetings of the boards and agencies of the denomination could be made available on the computer-based communication system and representatives from each congregation could read or print out the stories they find relevant. Implementing this proposal would cost approximately $7 million, and the monthly cost to each congregation would be about $8. What do you think about this idea? (PRVDMDEM)

713) The concept of letting non-economic factors (personal, religious, moral, social) guide investment decisions is usually known as "socially responsible investment." While individuals differ in the personal and social criteria they feel are appropriate when choosing to invest, the following factors are some of the more common criteria for socially responsible investing in the U.S.: (1) invest in corporations that have positive records on the environment, employee and community relations, and the safety and usefulness of its products; and (2) avoid investing in corporations that do business in nations that commit major human rights violations; have significant sales of arms and military equipment; have significant involvement in nuclear power production; or are heavily involved in the tobacco, alcohol, or gambling industries. Before receiving this questionnaire, how familiar were you with the concept of "socially responsible investment"? (RSPNINUS)
