It seems that the Church is in the "small business category", but not neccessarily in the e-commerce realm; but rather as an organization that needs to offer its "participants"a way to plan, support, and envision together, and also work on "presentation" (what is shown to the public on the.http://rss.com.com/2100-1023-976455.html?type=pt&part=rss&tag=feed&subj=news (Untitled)- December 7, 2002 I have strung together some articles around the "Church of the Saviour Web" theme "Telling the Story of a Church on the web" "Beyond BrochureWare for Churches" "A Place of Connectivity"http://theoblogical.org/dlature/categories/theoblogical/2002/12/07.html#a1197 A Web that Connects- December 7, 2002 "Church of the Saviour Web" is a piece I am writing which begins to explore the many pieces of an effective, engaging, and energizing Church Web which communicates how closely integrated Church can be with ALL OF LIFE.
