This new ministry “. . .exists not only to educate but also to equip individuals, congregations, and Christian academics to communicate the Christian faith to adherents of new religious movements with understanding and sensitivity.”

The organization offers trainings, education, and will be sponsoring conferences. I encourage my readers to learn about and support this new ministry.

John is a great example of what a blogger ought to be and has a remarkable understanding of Internet-based communication and ministry.

I am therefore very pleased to announce that John is going to be sharing his expertise with ministries, churches, and non-religious groups/individuals in the form of his own web consulting business. Purplecowwebsites.com and Churchwebsiteconsulting.com are the website for this new enterprise, and I highly recommend both using his services AND linking to these sites on your own blogs.
