This site is for:
'Random church finding:

for members of a church: 1. email for everybody in the church with an appropriate email domain 1. distribution lists for prayer alerts

- forums for each church and class and group - do them by themselves using our shell site code
for community
- churches can post studies, audio, and video to attract visitors, new members, or as a public service to others
