[Faith-talk] inaccessible church Websites

[Debbie Brown]

I think First Corinthians 14, about speaking in tongues, applies to 
websites.

Have you called these churches to talk to anyone?  It seems that most 
churches do better at answering the phone than most businesses.  I know that 
our church website is done by a volunteer.
