[sword-devel] Conceptual Concordance

[Steve Gronka]

Hello God bless you Sword-development,

	Both DM Smith and Manfred Bergmann suggested that I contact you about  
a project that I have been working on for a few years.  It is a  
concordance of concepts which stresses textual context.  Both DM and  
Manfred observed the synonym element of the project, but it goes  
beyond that to identify that at times a concept is spoken of in terms  
of context and related ideas.

	Following is my original communication to them:

	Hello God bless you DM,

> Mercy, grace, peace, and the love of Christ be with you always,
