I posted on the "other" side of the pond at Jason Clark this morning.

   Here's a small taste:              
Blogging effectively for the Kingdom of God requires a bit more than sound theology wrapped in a cool theme.  Although I eagerly recommend both excellent theology [...]

Almost certainly, online technology will never be a replacement for corporate church gatherings.  Although our assemblies can take several forms (we know the building itself isn't the church), it's clearly the being together 'of one accord' that has spiritual merit.  Online communications can be an extension of the relationships we have and can, in some [...]
