The Church of England on Friday announced the creation of its first ``virtual parish'' and invited applicants for the position of ``Web pastor.''Not to gloat or anything, but the Vebbe Rebbe came first.... Posted by Avraham at March 5, 2004 09:14 AMThe purpose of the Internet church, or ``i-church,'' according to the Web site, ``is to provide a Christian community for those who wish to explore Christian discipleship but who are not able, or do not wish, to join a local congregation.''
The move comes at a time when the Church of England is suffering from declining attendance -- down to about 2 percent of the nation on any Sunday.
In an advertisement in the Church Times, the Diocese of Oxford invites applicants for the post of ``Web pastor'' to build and oversee a groundbreaking Internet parish community.
not to gloat or anything, but i know who answers the webbe rebbe's mail...
