Site Protects Christian Values
By Martin Stone, Newsbytes.
December 06, 1999
The Southern Baptist Convention has reportedly launched an Internet
service meant to filter what it calls pornography, violence, bigotry
and other material religious leaders deem a hindrance to personal and
spiritual growth. Church leaders said the new service ensures that
Christian values remain un-assaulted online.
According to a report by Associated Press today, the site
(http://www.lifewayonline.com ) went live Wednesday and is intended
to help Christians surf without fear of content that conflicts with
moral values, according to church officials. The new site reportedly
joins a growing number of Web services responding to public concern
about content and its influence on users, particularly among teens
and children.
The filter operates beyond word searches and considers content to
ensure that helpful sites, such as those about breast cancer or sex
education, are not blocked, the report said. The service is available
for $19.95 per month.
The Southern Baptist Convention claims to represent 16 million
Baptists in 41,000 congregations,
