Welcome to the inaugural edition ofIchthus! It is our hope that this will be a worthwhile source of news for people interested in what is happening withWikiProject Christianity, including hersubprojects and workgroups. The name,Ichthys, meansfish in theGreek language, and has been used to representChristianity since the times of theEarly Church.Ichthus is the successor to the long running WikiProject Christianity newsletter, run under the WikiProject Christianity’sOutreach department. As such, you will continue to see information about our latest featured and good articles, DYKs, as well as new members who have joined our project. You might also see links to Christianity related news from the mainstream media!
With that, I wish you all happy reading!
