Church web site matures

Like almost every company in the world, computers were used for fiscal and statistical applications.  When the internrnet came along, it was also used primarily for fiscal and statistical purposes.

Somewhere along the line, most companies also change their direction (often with a change in IT director) and move the focus to a more mission-oriented direction.  This sometimes has two undesirable effects:

1. It demoralizes the fiscal and statistical people who see incorrect major assumptions made about the way they do things and 
2. It tries to provide other program services in the same way as financial and statistical.

The LDS Church has now introduced the next version of their web offering.   You can visit it at lds.org.   It is beautiful.   It is functional.    It is heavenly.  For some functions it may be a nightmare.  Stay tuned.
