I’ve been the proud admin of the Christian Apologetics Alliance group blog since July 18, 2012, when I began carrying out most of the responsibilities (see below) of Posts Leaders, Comments Editors and Admins, under the supervision of CAA President Chris Reese, Vice President Carson Weitnauer and Webmaster Arthur Khachatryan. Mid-October of 2012, we brought J.w. Wartick on as co-Admin of the blog and began to delegate responsibilities to other volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, read the job descriptions below and message me with how you would like to help out. It is helpful for you to have familiarity with WordPress and mandatory for you to know the guidelines.
