Wikiklesia
Here is a new effort to use internet technology to spread the gospel using a wiki type format:
An online Christian publishing experiment called the Wikiklesia Project has produced its first collaborative ecclesial e-book, VOICES OF THE VIRTUAL WORLD.

The Wikiklesia Project collected the thoughts of more than 40 writers--from technologists to theologians--to reflect on the influence of technology on the global Christian church. The book took just a few weeks to complete, according to Wikiklesia co-founder John La Grou.

Could the project be a bellwether for changes in the church itself? "We long to see a church saturated with decentralized cooperation," according to the publisher's statement. "The improbable notion of books that effectively publish themselves is one of many ways that can help move us closer to this global ecclesial connectedness."
