I figured I'd blog about an idea I've thought about recently.  With my passion for the local church, specifically in Baltimore, I'm regularly thinking of possible ways to help churches in Baltimore work together to transform this city.  I really believe that it will take churches working together to create the type of change this city needs.

One idea I've tossed around is a website dedicated to aggregating news and information related to churches and ministries in Baltimore.  One step in helping churches work together would be to help churches get to know each other.  Reading about what's going on in other churches around Baltimore would hopefully help churches feel more connected to each other.  It could even prompt churches to help each other if there are clear opportunities in front of them. 

At this point I've pictured a website that is primarily a news page in blog format, but also pulled blog posts, news headlines and twitter posts from churches and church leaders in Baltimore.  The question that plagues me is whether or not churches and church leaders in Baltimore would care enough to follow and contribute to such a website.  But, such possibilities of failure never stopped me before so I'm going to check with my brother in-law who could actually get this rolling from the technology standpoint. 

By the way, if you want to steal this idea and implement it yourself, please do.  Just let me know how I can help.
