A new social networking site has been launched for people with an interest in religion.
FaithTrip.net will allow users to share their views and experiences, through blogs, forums, video and music, with an emphasis being on religion and faith.
The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC) wanted to see greater use of the Internet in religion and the website was created in response to this.
Spokesman for ACBC, Bishop Peter Ingham said:
It's a great long-term online communications strategy to service the communication needs of the enormous church community….. It's also vital that the youth in search of meaning can be met and can meet us via the tools they are comfortable with.
The developers hope FaithTrip will also act as an educational tool for faith-based academic institutions such as the Australian Catholic University.
