At the same time the diocese was launching its Cutting Edge ministries - one of which was iChurch. A few of my friends suggested I apply for the iChurch job but it was half-time so I didn't. It has been interesting to watch iChurch evolve from something hugely ambitious into something remarkably similar to our early experiments with CyberCell. It's now a more realistic project - with its own strengths and weaknesses...Time has now moved on. I've often wonderred whether CyberCell should be relaunched. It would certainly be a valuable fresh expression in a city with global commuters. I'm also interested in the growth of blogs and facebook as tools for church development. Peter Ballantine and Mindy Bell are doing an on-line lent course. The rest of the world seems to be catching up. Maybe this is the time to have another go...
I had a quick look at it this afternoon while I was waiting for the girls to come home. It took me about fifteen minutes to set up a page on Webjam using the rough format we worked out before - isn't web 2.0 woderful! I wonder...
I think I'm going to offer to do a lent course for interested people using the meditations and questions produced by the team. I wonder if anyone would be interested?
