We really haven't had much success numerically so far with this, but that's partly due to some streaming problems. That said, if we do this on Sunday evenings at 7 PM EST, would any of you be interested in stopping by? We're going to start the book of Esther next week. If I can find some interest, we'll give it a try.
I wanted to let you all know about an experiment we're trying this week & following. We're doing a Bible class, and besides the local attendees, we're using Ustream to stream the class live, inviting the world to sit in on the class and join in via text chat. I'm sure most of you will be in your own churches on Sunday mornings, but I wanted to share the idea with you in case anyone else wants to try it. Feedback welcome.

It was really funny trying to get permission from the publisher, since we're reading a book as part of the class. They had never seen a request for this kind of copyright permission before. We'll be able to record and save the streams for a year.
