Internet Apologist
Jason Dollar has proposed a new ministry position for churches today in his post: "Internet Apologist?" While I am not sure what I think about his proposal, here is how it begins:
It is easy to suggest things, but not follow through with actions. So that is what I am going to do! I suggest that the Church establish a ministry to people who surf the Internet.
The person would be paid a salary and have board oversight and be required to surf the Internet 8 hours a day, focusing especially on forums, chat rooms, and blogs, and be a solid Christian voice there. He / she would not be a columnist but rather an evangelist. The goal would be to carry on conversations with people who talk online and to point them to the living water of Jesus Christ (John 4). As far as I know, this is not currently being done (correct me if I am wrong).

I don't think any church budget committee that I ever sat before would go for that.
"He's going to do what? Where?"
"And when will these people start to come to our church?
"Will these people he's reaching ever tithe?"
