Web Geek: ‘Pastors Create The Worst Websites’

ROCKVILLE, MD (Wireless Flash) – It may sound blasphemous but one web designer says church pastors create the worst websites out there because of something he calls “Jesus Junk.” Dean Peters says pastors often suffer from a love for cheap, gaudy religious imagery that he calls “Jesus Junk,” and it makes their church websites look ugly as sin. Peters, who also teaches Sunday school, says pastors get their Jesus Junk fixation from “...watching too much Christian Television Network” and it causes them to do things like put giant, spinning animated crosses on the front page of their websites. He believes Jesus Junk is a cardinal web sin second only to pastors who “...put giant pictures of their unattractive families on their front page.” Peters offers advice on cleaning up church sites at healyourchurchwebsite.com, as well as in a new book, Son of WebPages That Suck (Sybex).
