Geek speak about religion

Vatican - God-fearing geeks feel that church marketing is lagging behind the times and various religious leaders are concerned about missing out on opportunities offered by the explosion in social networking. 100 religious delegates attended a recent meeting - ‘The Internet Culture and Church Communications’ - which took place at the Vatican between November 12-15. The delegates met with representatives from Facebook, Google, YouTube and Wikipedia. One religious participant opined that the internet is “as important as the invention of the printing press" and went on to point out that just as the printing press helped make the Bible available to everyone who could read, the internet can make the Gospel accessible to everyone who uses the internet. 

One church-marketing internet company advises, "Get with it churches, synagoges, ashrams and temples. The Internet is the Word and it is the Way. Typos, cheesy logos, and bad clip art aren't helping the cause."
