>>It seems to me that the fact that the Christian body is so divided, that we need to concentrate on our unity, before we go out unto the masses.

LeBarron, the Christian body has been divided for nearly all of its 2000 years. If we wait until the church is more unified “before we go out until the masses” as you suggest then we will never go.

I tend to agree that we as Christians don’t need or want a Christian social network. In fact, there are so many instances where churches are looking to use social networking for communications, logistics, planning, etc. when that’s not at all what social networking is intended for. It’s intended to “network”.

When you’re in a church and are involved in various ministries and groups you don’t need to network with these folks, you need take care of the business of being a member. You need to plan, share a calendar, get reminders, have discussions and generally be accessible to each other. Technology and the internet is perfect for that! It’s not about social networking. It’s about giving the groups in your church and other organizations a place for them to connect, share information, share ideas, plan, and again, be accessible to each other. This takes the burden off the administrators of the organization, by empowering the groups to connect and get things done on their own accord!

Believe it or not, I created a business plan for my social network back in 2003, but it was not supported until after the big myspace wave. Our efforts are to create a community that allows Christians to get understand their purpose, and the focus on Kingdom Building. It seems to me that the fact that the Christian body is so divided, that we need to concentrate on our unity, before we go out unto the masses. Drew I would love for you to assist us in these efforts. So to answer your question more clearly, Christian social networks are very needed in the body of Christ.
