I am excited about the new website and all it has to offer. I have become the moderator of the Mission and Service Team (MAST) for the The Presbytery of the James (Virginia). This is the product of a realignment of the Presbytery organizational structure and the GA's website is a conformation of our decision to change. The MAST is embarking on a mission to network and connect individuals and congregations utilizing social networking in the wake of the GA's example. Is it some how possible to leverage the GA's new website format/structure? Any guidance/information will be helpful and welcomed. Our tentative vision statement is: Promote a reformation of the Presbytery of the James into the archetype of the Mid-Atlantic Synod, whose efforts are in-sync and responsive to the needs of a collective congregation of 27,136 (and counting) individual disciples of Christ and the community of 115 unique bodies of Christ they comprise. "One person, one church, one mission." Peace, Charles Lee Holmes Moderator Mission and Service Team Presbytery of the James (Virginia)
