”God Goes Online”

CNN has a story about a cyber church. “It is the first 3-D online church service launched in Britain. “The ministers who preach have their sermons appear as cartoon-style “thought bubbles.”

“Worshippers can log on and put money in the collection box without ever leaving home or work.

“The organizers say the initiative aims to make Christian worship accessible to Web surfers who may never darken the doors of their local church. Lead sponsor is the Methodist Church.

“At the site’s launch this week, even No. 3 in the Church of England — the Bishop of London — stepped into cyberspace.

“The bishop, the Rt. Rev. Richard Chartres, says: “We always have to learn how to ‘sing the Lord’s song,’ the psalmist says, in whatever circumstances we are.””
