- Editing: You may edit articles to adapt them to your publication so long as you retain a fair representation of the point made in the original article.
- Profit: You must not sell any content of this website for undue profit, however I do not object to you covering your costs and labour and making a modest return on your investment in the manner of fair trade.
- Original Rights: You must not place any restrictions or copyright on your usage of my work that would prevent or restrict anyone, including myself, from also freely using my original work as presented on this website.
- Notification: I would like you to write or email me, notifying any substantial usage. This is not essential, but it encourages me when you provide feedback on the usage of my ministry. Thank you.

If your ministry can benefit from mine, then that increases the fruit of my labours. I welcome your use of my work under the terms above.
