Church Cookies – EU Cookie Law Help for Churches & Ministries

Posted By James Cooper on June 19, 2012

The new EU ‘Cookie Law’ has already featured in a couple of posts on ChurchMag. Now european web users (I can only speak from a UK perspective) are seeing how different ways of how the law is being implemented and not…

There are a vast number of sites that are yet to comply with the law – for a number of reasons – but I think one of the main ones is that they simply don’t understand the law and what to do with it!

From my experience as a Christian web designer, a lot of Church and Ministry sites fall into this category. They’re often run by (wonderful!) volunteers who, very understandably, can’t keep up with all the technical happenings in the world of the web.

Do You Support “Hacktivism”?

Posted By Jeremy Smith on May 15, 2012

We have talked about the theological implications of hackers and how we as Christians should respond as well as the latest in security measures to prevent the future of hacking. But there is a whole world of hackers that have not been talked about.

For some, hacking is all about money or revenge.

For others, it is boredom or power, not necessarily about the hacking itself.

But the group that we will be looking at are the hactivists: hacking to do something good by preventing evil.

Religious Websites Are More Dangerous Than Porn Sites?

Posted By Eric Dye on May 11, 2012

In a spiritual sense, the opposite is true.

How-To Ensure You’re Not One of the Most Dangerous Website on the Web

Posted By Phil Schneider on May 11, 2012

My brain just imploded when I first read this.

Can you believe that Religious Websites Are More Dangerous Than Porn Sites?

It’s wrong on so many levels.

According to the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report (2011), religious/ideological websites are three times more likely, on average, to be infected with malware than porn sites.

Why?

Posted By Eric Dye on May 2, 2012

Did you know that a new European Law makes over 90% of websites illegal?

The Terms of Service Debate: Google Drive or Google Dive?

Posted By Eric Dye on April 27, 2012

After months and months of speculation around the release of Google Drive, it finally came.

Of course, a big drop like this wouldn’t be complete without some fierce debate about privacy policies, right?

Right.

About Us:

We've been insanely-interested in exploring how the Church, ministries, and non-profits use technology to effectively fulfill their mission to the world.

With a small blog that started in September of 2008 we grew faster than we had ever dared to dream expanding into a network of blogs that reached more than a quarter million people every single month.

In May of 2011 we re-focused our efforts bringing all of the content back into one solidified brand - a "digital magazine" of resources that still serve the same industries and that still has the same curious heartbeat that started this movement.

Join us - there is still much to be explored.
