Over at AKMA’s Blog he has a couple (so far) of posts about Call For Technologians. The main theme is captured most directly here:

The more candor you can turn loose on a congregational web site, the better people will know the congregation, for better or worse; that exercise alone may make it worth building a conversational web site. |from Technology for Congregations Part Two

Few people who join a community (a Church) that really get involved do this on the basis of what’s in the bulletin, or on the schedule, or even preached (which are the things that most Churches seem satisfied to “store” on their website. It’s the relationships, the conversations, the things in which the people are pasionate about. The Web seems to be the most direct route ever devised to allow people to “explore and summarize” what drives them. My theology of Church emphasizes the call/duty of the Church to enable the people to find what it is that God is calling them to. The “environment” we need in order to do that is to have some sense of the journeys of others, and perhpas through this we find common callings.

I found AKMA’s post on Technorati, since I had somehow lost track of the right RSS feed for his weblog. It’s back in place now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have needed to have looked at Technorati to find out that he had referred to my site.
