The phrase "alternative worship" is used for just about anything now-a-days where worship is organised differently to your standard hymn-sermon-liturgy sandwich. So just what is it and where do you find out more?

Personally I would class Alternative Worship as any form of worship in which creativity was viewed as more important than tradition and familiarity, and in which journey was more important than linear structure. The trouble though with being creative is that you need inspiration and resources, and the trouble with 'journeying' is that it is often hard to work out where you are starting from and where you want to end up. So I thought it might be helpful to put together some resources and ideas for folk who might be just starting out on the 'journey' or who are in need of some more inspiration and resources.  

Content Management Systems, affectionately known as CMS's, have revolutionised the internet. The key to a good website is good content, and good content means up to date and fresh content. Without a CMS keeping content up to date and fresh is a hard and time consuming task. With a good CMS though, well, then you're looking at your website coming to life, interacting with your users, with little or no technical know how on your part. The best thing about many CMS's is (you're going to like this bit!) they're free!

That's right - not only are they are lot better than having expensive web design software on your computer that you don't know how to use, but CMS's are on the whole developed by the Open Source community which makes them free of charge to use just however you want!
