Galen here!
I'm not the listadmin of this group anymore, but I did
found this list, and I wrote the rules for it.

Two wrongs still don't make a right. Laura's note is
not relevant to the Elfsea list, though as a Christian
myself, I have immense sympathy for her message.
There's actually a rule for this list that excludes
this sort of message forwarding to the list.
Kateryne's note lacks the courtesy I expect of posters
to this list, and which the rules also require
(especially in dealing with valued new members who may
not have picked up on all the little subtle
distinctions of how we play). Sorry, Kateryne, nowhere
does _Corpora_ or Kingdom Law, and certainly not the
tradition of Elfsea, ban Christians from discussing
their faith. If you feel that innocuous little note
was harrassment, I suggest that, while I know nothing
to make me believe that you're an evil person (as you
suggested), you do seem a tad oversensitive. The SCA
is not, and does not try to be, a safe-haven from
religious -- or even specifically Christian or Jewish --
influence or expression. I hope the others of those
many reasons will influence you to stay in the SCA,
despite this one small failing of our group.
I look forward to you visiting Elfsea to meet some of
the folks you've been exchanging e-mail with.
