David of MormonConverts.com recently shared with me a good idea: Ward Bloggers.
The Church already allows ward members to share a (private) site with the news and members of their ward. If (public) blogging software were added, each bishop in the Church could call a local person to be responsible for writing about happenings in the ward — upcoming Sunday School topics, with links to the readings for that week, or who spoke in sacrament meeting and what they spoke about.
I’d love to read the ward blogs of areas in my mission — to know that someone I taught had spoken in Church, or that a member I knew had sent a son on a mission. I’d also want to read the blog of my “home ward” to stay connected with the many good people that influenced me as a youth.
