The full title of this website is: Church Website Audit .com
Here is the backstory:
I created a website, iDontWantGod.com
for the prodigals we all know and love -
those that grew up in church but left for various reasons.
The website, iDontWantGod.com
has articles that define difficulties people have with God - or church - or religious family members.
Though imperfect and never completely done, I launched the site,
and decided I need prayer support from individual churches,
that the site would be useful.
I also have a website FatherlessMale.com for men that grew up without their biodad.
This project too needs prayer.
In attempting to reach 15,000+ churches in 4 most pro-life conservative denominations in America, via the internet,
I've gained a perspective of how differently each church uses the internet - or doesn't.
And I've learned what church leaders think of the internet and email.
Several churches have been eager to offer their prayer support for my website,
but many churches simply cannot be reached via the internet or email.
It is apparent that many church leaders do not value the internet,
and many leaders who have websites - despise email.
So, in this website, cwebaudit.com I want to show church leaders
how the public might view their churches - via their web-presence, or lack thereof.
I also wrote a few articles, from one layman's point of view about in-house matters
that pastors and deacons might find useful.
AND... I came across something I call 'anti-evangelism', in the hearts of some Christians,
that fights against church growth. This article in in the 'In-House Stuff' Section.

The Postcard
Many of you are at this website because you received the postcard on the right.
The righthand postcard is sent only to churches,
while the lefthand postcard is used in neighborhood mailings.
This printing method is more efficient for me,
because, if a church wanted to - it could put its label on card and mail it locally.

Best Practices
Every profession establishes a set of 'Best Practices' for its leaders to follow.
This website then, is a statement that even in a large denomination,
I don't see an established set of best practices for pastors to follow
concerning email and internet contact.
And as we go along through the website, I will suggest best practices for email
and internet use as it applies to the local church.

Friendliest States
Before we step into this, given the amount of built-in adversity these churches face,
from Mormonism and from liberal doctrine;
conservative Evangelical churches in Utah and Vermont were the most accessible via the internet and by email, according to my perceptions.
