A United Methodist Glossary

What do you know about United Methodist Doctrinal Heritage? Not much, I'd guess. You may want to offer this link to our Doctrinal Heritage for your web site visitors.

Uses for the glossary

• Add a brief definition to the word such as "Intinction" on a web page by inserting the "TITLE" attribute in a span that covers the text to be defined. In such a case, when the visitor holds the mouse cursor over the word, the definition pops up in a small "tooltip" type box. For example, hold your mouse over "Intinction" above in this paragraph. This example also assigns a background style of yellow to make the defined word stand out.


• Add a separate glossary or "terms" web page that links to terms like below or else uses your own phrasing (have the pastor check for accuracy).

Below is a pretty decent link collection, mostly from the Intrepreter Magazine Glossary.
