Why do we need 2 passwords? -
The reason AUCE has two website passwords for members is because it is AUCE's policy to send complimentary copies of the newsletter to ecumenical resource centers, UCC-related seminaries, and conference ministers, most of whom are not AUCE members. Thus, all who receive the newsletter can have access to it with the newsletter password, while AUCE members can use the general member password to access Members Only materials.
