LONDON (Reuters) - The Church of England has begun a hunt for a virtual vicar to take charge of a flock of "cyber-worshippers" in its first Internet parish.

The diocese of Oxford has advertised for a "Web pastor" to take charge of its soon-to-be-launched online church (www.i-church.org), set up for those who want to be part of a congregation but are unable or unwilling to join a traditional parish.
"We are looking for a dynamic, confident Christian (lay or ordained) who is able to build this new community, lead its core members, and be available to visitors to the site," the diocese's advertisement published on Friday said.
The i-church Web site said it will offer online daily worship, a reading for the day and prayers.
Posted by mbarlowe at March 4, 2004 09:14 PMThis is a most imaginative idea. It is truely ground breaking. I have discovered how to teach people to walk a virtual labyrinth any time, any place and under any conditions. My web site also includes other teachings which could illustrate what can be done with such a virtual vicar.
emmanuelfullerton,org. Go to Fr. Paul.s spiriutality page. if you are interested. The ideal vicar might be a retired priest who has the time, experience, psychological training, and understanding to deal daily with those in need and those seking spiriutal growth.
WHAT A GREAT IDEA. GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR IMAGINATION.
