jfmiller's Journal: An Idea for a SLASH sight

Ok, so my real interest is in testing this journal thing, but I have an idea that I want to write down somewhere besides my brain.

As an avid reader of Slashdot, I enjoy the fact that I don't have to sift throught the rubble that is todays mass media to find stories about technology, and the culture, law, etc. that surround it.

But, as a Seminary student at CDSP I realize that there is much more to life then "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters." So I have no choice but to sift though the rubble of the mass media to find the story on page B17 under the add for women's undergarments about the social justice and Church related issues I'm interested in.

My idea, (I told you I had one) is to create a SLASH sight with the goals of:

• highlighting news stories in the areas of social Justice, Religous Life, and World Politics that would be of interest to a like minded Christian audience.
• Foster a dialog among the diverce Christian denominations and with the wider faith community about these issues.
• Provide a forum for prominate secular and religous leader to air their opinion and get responces from the community-at-large.

There are no firm plans at the moment, I am more interested to find out if such a sight would be appriciated.
