Theological Rationale

"The use of electronic means of communication
is part of our Ministry of Communication, our call to

'Go into all the world to proclaim the good news to the whole creation.'
(Mark 16:15 NRSV ).

The use of electronic communication is one way,
among many,
that the church goes into all the world" today.
It is the most public forum we have
for others to find out about what we are doing."
