A Parish Web Site

Just put up a trial web site for the parish at www.catholichendredandilsley.org.uk. I hope they like the retro-Apple style. What one leaves out is always as important as what one puts in. I wonder how many people, idly surfing the internet, would ever choose a parish web site as a starting-point for exploring the big questions in life. How many people would come to church on a Sunday to find out why and what Catholics believe; and would they be disappointed if they did? I suspect the same is true of a monastery web site. It is certainly true of the "average" monastery. How does one communicate joy and hope, and the possibility of intelligent faith?
