I will be interested in hearing your session on 'The Internet & The Sovereignty of God.' I live in a rural area of Victoria, and attend a Baptist church. We only just started using power point about a year or so ago (but still taping sermons on cassette tape), and just recently someone has started working on a website for the church. As the majority of the people in the church are of the older generation, and therefore many of them are not very computer literate. And so the person created the site has decided to make it user-friendly for those particular people. I have no problem with that reasoning; except I am wondering if by catering to the needs to a certain group of people within the church, we are then further isolating certain people outside the church. From what I understand and heard, more people are coming to church via the website. And so my guess would be, if they're not impress with the website, then they most likely won't be interested in attending the church. But I'm also guessing that culture plays a part in that too. I won't really know whether our church website is going to be effective or not, until it is up and running online. Hi Drew.
