Are they (and you) Presbyterians by any chance? If so, perhaps you can pass on our existence to them and we can share ministry. Actually, even if they aren't Presbyterians, it's great to connect with other people of faith in Second Life, and work alongside them for God's "Real" Kingdom.<br><br>@Drew -- thanks for posting this!
