The Internet was first touted to the general public as an extraordinary information-sharing tool: a resource to help like-minded people exchange knowledge, encouragement, and inspiration. But today what people share, as often as anything else, is credit card numbers. Everyone, it seems, is out to make a buck—even in the world of worship. There are dozens of sites on the web that offer worship resources—drama, music, liturgy, technical advice, even sermons—for a price. How refreshing, then, to find sites that offer some of these things for free (or very nearly free), in the spirit of the early age of the Internet, or in the Spirit of the early age of the Church (Acts 2:44; Acts 4:32). This column will review three of the better sites offering help to congregations who use drama in worship.
