Thanks for this. I'm currently in discussion with David
re web space and maybe a mailing list on his system.
I'll send a message to virus if/when it's up.
At the moment I'm thinking of calling it Synthesis,
with the brief description: "Promoting the philosophy
of reconciliation, especially between science and
religion". The switch from "spirituality" to "religion"
is for PR purposes -- I still think the former's more
accurate, but the latter isn't actually at all misleading.
As you may know, the title comes from Hegel's
concept of the dialectic, in which the synthesis
resolves the contradiction between the thesis and
the antithesis.
