How the Bishops Blog and What For?

There is a misunderstanding among the general people that churches and the people associated with them are bound by chains of traditionalism and faith. They disapprove of everything modern. While they are aware of the internet, a few of them may be using them and that too sparingly. Well take away the misconception from your eyes. Even though a house of faith, the churches are as modern in their outlook as anyone else. That is they are still traditional but in a modern garb. While the church leaders still continue to preach in the church pew they are also using the internet to reach across to a wider range of people who are not able to otherwise visit the church. This has resulted in the creation of a number of blogging bishops. Now both the lay folks and the church leaders are equally computer savvy and use the internet extensively to serve their purposes. The main aim of these blogging bishops is to instill faith in God and spread the message of peace throughout the world through the available means. Now-a-days blogging is one of them. God has created this world and the creatures and human beings are among them. Human being is only equipped with a Brain and that brain is the only difference between him and the other creatures. Hence the blogging bishops take a new leap in blogging.

They are a new breed of internet savvy bishops who are comprised of both the sexes. (Yes there are female bishops too from all across the world but not from England). These have created a number of blog sites on different topics and chapters from the Bible and other philosophical books. Just like God channels which preach on the television, there are also God sights to preach the individuals on the internet.

Blogs are a way with these bishops to record in their thoughts, their musings, and their preaching. They give out sermons through their written blogs. They think that they could reach a greater number of people by creating their own blogs. Thus, they move beyond the pew and the public and reach out to a larger number of followers who religiously follow their blogs.

A number of people from all across the world keep an eye on these blogging sites. Limited by time constraint or geography constraints they choose one of them as their favorite and religiously follow their blog sites. This way the readers think that they are benefiting from the teachings of the churches even if they are not able to go to their house of faiths. The reader feels an inner calm and an illumination of mind and body by going through the blogs of them.

But, not all bishops stick to the house of faith for their blogs. Some like the openly gay bishop Right Rev Robinson of New Hampshire is quite controversial in his approach. Thus, his blogs stir quite a reaction and are spicy new items.

Other important sites of interest in this field are Right Rev Nick Bains of Croydon and Right Rev Mike Hill, Bishop of Bristol.
