VIRTUAL WORSHIP

The declining and embattled Anglican fellowship is trying to stem the tide with i-church:
The Church of England is operating its first virtual parish, which is designed to serve a community of online worshippers from all over the world. The Anglican Internet church, or i-church, went online three months ago, and has already attracted far more members than its organizers ever expected, even though the official launch is still a month away.
I-church recently selected Reverend Alyson Leslie from more than 40 applicants, as the part-time web-pastor.

"I am from the belief that you build a church member by member," she says.

Word is that all i-church members eventually will be uploaded to i-heaven where they can virtually experience i-fellowship with the Heavenly Father.
