IN REPLY TO MICHAEL.

In response to Michael otherwise presenting himself as Cyprian.

Thank you for your recent meaningful contribution to the debate. Post the Host seeks to encourage those receiving to pray, to read the scriptures and to encounter and receive the Body of Christ. By so doing our missionary hope is that people can be drawn into deeper and closer relationship with those around them in whom the Spirit of God dwells.Post the Host does not seek to encourage dismembered reception, anymore than those receiving in hospitals or at home, rather to find ways to bring into closer contact those who are at present estranged.The internet and video resources are not to replace other more personal forms of ministry and worship but to lead to them or supplement them. As such they are evangelistic. Post the Host takes its ministerial responsibilities to those with whom we have contact very seriously as does the Open Episcopal Church. That is the very reason for our ministry outside the traditional church structures, to reach out and draw alongside the lost and the lonely.
