[Oe List ...] Geneva offices

[David Dunn]

Between Dick Kroeger and Richard Maguire I now have a complete set of the
five original Geneva Offices. It will be a while, but in due course they
will come to you as a PDF file to use, save or toss.

I'd like to have anyone who knows anything about the details of their
creation send notes. Richard wrote:

Can anyone expand on these notes and/or add any clarity about the beginnings
of the Local Church Experiment Genevas that had 'LC' on them?

Thanks for any and all feedback.
