I'm considering starting an email discussion list for church-related
webmasters to discuss policy issues regarding running a church web
site.  This would be a very low-volume, low-noise list.

Issues to be discussed might include:

  * handling "trolls" i.e. attempts to draw people with public
    email addresses into extended email debates regarding
    doctrine (currently, I ignore them completely).

  * how to handle prayer requests (I refer them to wnop.org).

  * ethics considerations regarding pastoring over the Internet.
    (i.e. "my pastor does thus-and-such what do you think about
    that and how should I handle that situation?")

This might be in the form of an edited weekly journal.

If you have comments on this proposal, please email privately to
me rmasoner@prairienet.org.
