Thanks for opening this up Lynda. I also think that an internet church can:

give voice to people normally excluded
communicate the Gospel to those for whom traditional church is more of a barrier than a support
promote radical and innovative worship
help us to question much of the taken-for-granted (especially the norms of organised religion, such as the Anglican Church)
support relationship building ( and communion) between christians
make valuable thinking and resources, such as sermons, theology, liturgy available to many more people
help marginalised christians to feel less isolated
be fun!

Christ is risen!

Perhaps an internet church is also the place for communal bible study? I'm not sure what format to use but maybe someone's got an idea?

I agree, Henk.
I have set up a Bible Study group here but, like you, am not sure what format would be best for it - topics based on the Bible, regular set readings or following readings from the Anglican Lectionary (weekly church readings) etc.
I'm glad you've thrown this open for suggestions.
