Church of Fools? see what you think

Whilst on holiday I picked up a copy of the "Readers Digest"and was interested to read about the Methodist approach to the cyber age in " The Church of Fools Website" ....The websites objective was to bring church( or technically chapel) to us rather than we as individuals meeting together as a church .

They experimented with the site for 4 months last year . On entering the church you choose a character and then proceeded to one of the pews , apparently at one of their services which were held at 9pm every Sunday they attracted 30,000 pew sitters .......mmm interesting

Personally I applaud them for their igenuity and contemporary efforts at making chapel accessible but how are we meant to encourage ,support and love one another if we are nothing but faceless individuals ( Hebrews 10:25)

Your opinion may differ , check it out for yourself and read about the experiment . I would be interested in your comments
