At present the CofS doesn't allow Councils to have their own sites. No 'brands' allowed. NYA isn't allowed its own site. COSY isn't allowed it's own site. That limits the ways in which people can interact because the CofS doesn't understand that people don't want to interact with static, out of date websites. They want to discuss, share, link, download, upload and all that web2.0 stuff. The CofS provides no support or training for website design or building. You'd think that Mission and Discipleship would be on the case...
