Black pastors from across the country are calling for an end to online slumlords. Bil Mooney-McCoy, a Black pastor and Director of the SafeFamilies program explained the issue, “Urban communities are always the first to be preyed upon. When social networking sites create an online community without adequate concern with safety, they are the online equivalent of slumlords.

Submitted by jarboe on Mon, 09/24/2007 - 10:00

I think that we could gather definitions as a resource for those how are not technology minded to understand the Volunteer Coordinator's training through reading of the book Wikinomics.

Lifehouse - Everything skit

Submitted by Forgiven on Thu, 10/18/2007 - 22:30

Who is the youth group that performed this skit? I have seen several videos like this that was performed to Lifehouses' Everything song; but this one is by far the best!

It has the best actors and it pulled my heart strings like nothing else in a very long time. It changed my way of thinking by confirming my relationship with Jesus Christ, my God, my Savior, my Friend, my True Love.

I would like to know who performed this video so that I can thank them.
