We have a name! After MUCH deliberation, and a lot of searching (because so many good names are already in use), we have chosen "feautor.org" as the primary name of this site. It's a word we've made up, but we hope it will come to mean "fe" + "autor" for faith author. And also that it reminds people of "future."

This page is the first, very initial web home for a new project that seeks to create a webspace for sharing and developing religious resources -- everything from curriculum materials, to worship elements, to music, and so on. On January 28, 2006 a meeting was held at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota to begin to develop the site and build a community for its implementation. A further meeting was held on April 29 and 30 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Details are linked below. The basic idea for this project is contained in a narrative description that we are circulating for comment. For more information contact Mary Hess or Fabio Botelho Josgrilberg. In late November of 2006 our request for proposals in Spanish or in English was circulated and proposals received. In March of 2007 we chose the Carlos Rubén Jacobs group of Argentina to build the site. We anticipate having a full public launch late in November of 2007. Until then you can follow the project via the blog noted below.

We are imagining a site that could include religious education materials, worship resources, hymns and songs, materials for supporting catechetical leadership, and much more! Towards that end, some of us have begun to collect student projects -- developed within various classes -- with which to "seed" the site. For instance, here is a bibliography on children and worship, a lenten service with creation themes, an adult forum on earthkeeping, a bibliodrama on the story of the father and two sons, etc. For now we've been posting these students projects on Mary's site, but eventually they will join what we hope will be many, many more on the open source site we're planning.
