I was on a Christian site, called Women of the Harvest, looking for an article they published by one of our missionaries. In trying to access their articles, I was taken to a page telling me:
"Our website is secure for your privacy. To access the Women of the Harvest resources, you will need to become a registered user."
So let me get this straight. If their website was NOT secure, but open to anyone, I could freely read their content and nobody need know I was even there. But because their website IS secure, I must give up private information about myself in order to protect my privacy.
CNN doesn't require that I register. Is that a liberal conspiracy to undermine my privacy?
Perhaps my church should require people to register before they can view such information as service times, ministries, etc. You know--to protect their privacy.

Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
