New social networking site for churches

Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) has launched a new social networking site called CT Connect. Launched to coincide with the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, it will offer a free website to local Churches Together groups with direct links to CTBI's online resources.

CTBI General Secretary Bob Fyffe said: "this is about resourcing and developing a new space to work on our agenda for unity. It's about building an on-line community. Significantly, it will allow Christians at a local level to engage directly with each other and with the many organisations in the ecumenical family. It will also be an interactive space that will resource and strengthen the work of local Churches Together groups. It's a good example of our being ‘More Together, Less Apart'"

CT Connect will also offer a quality space for Christians to seek and share information and best practice. It will facilitate groups sharing resources for worship and spirituality, publicising events, and most importantly to engaging, interacting and discussing current issues locally, nationally and internationally.
