Sunday nights tend to be my night for surfing. In addition to going through my emails since Friday, I follow links that lead to links that lead to links. I sometimes wonder how I got from "A" to "M." Tonight I know. It's Liz' fault! She sent me a spam mail asking if I knew anything about a newsletter by "Dr. Thomas Hohstadt." This is the email she forwarded to me:

Dear friends,
The refusal of an empowered laity has proven the greatest failure of today’s church. The co-dependency of skeptical pastors—protecting their own financial interests—and lazy laity—protecting their own membership privileges—has become an insidious addiction. Because of this cozy collusion, the more fervent and faith-filled entrepreneurs are finding their way outside the church. Turn this problem into new hope for the church by clicking: http://www.futurechurch.net/
Blessings,
FutureChurch
P.S. Please share this link with those who care about the future of the church.

Well, I'm not sure if there is much more than self-promotion at the FutureChurch site, however, I did find an interesting link off it to "Virtual Church." There is going to be an event on Tuesday evening. I'm going to try to check it out. Will I see you there?
Apparently its a SecondLife location. See this article for more info.
