JollyBlogger, a personal blog written by David Wayne, the pastor of Glen Burnie Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Glen Burnie, Maryland, has recently written about a new beta website for his church (for those who don’t know, “beta” simply means they are in a testing phase).
The new website uses TypePad, a popular blogging service, and it definitely has a blog-feel to it - complete with a three-column look, lists of recent posts and comments, a photo album, categories, etc.
What is most exciting to me, however, is that the church has decided to take a big leap and leave the commenting system open so that anyone can add a comment (or a trackback) to entries on the front page of the site.
I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
