Q: What is a blog?

A: A blog is short for web log. A blog can be a personal diary; A daily pulpit; A collaborative space; A political soapbox; A breaking-news outlet; A collection of links; Your own private thoughts; Memos to the world. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.

In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not. Blogs have reshaped the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others.

It is hoped that our blog will enhance communications among our site visitors, our leaders, our ministers and our members around the world.
