Scattered through the articles in The Times were nearly 20 web sites for those with computers and modems to find and download further information.
On television, a campaign is running to push the use of the web, and even my cereal packet boasts its own cryptic address of slashes and letters. The web is spreading so fast that - for once - the word 'explosion' is not hyperbole.
The very pace of its spread has been unsettling. First there was the Internet, the global linkage of computers through which we were able to e-mail colleagues, relatives and missionaries across the world at minimal cost. We were still adjusting to the implications of that when the blizzard of pages of linked fact, fantasy and trivia that makes up the world wide web (and which is hosted by the Internet) descended on us. In fact, web sites now proliferate to the extent that it will soon be an odd church notice sheet that doesn't have at least one web page listed somewhere and you can even find Evangelicals Now at http://www.e-n.org.uk.
