Welcome to the Share Community

- an online gathering place where people who are pioneering (or just interested in) new forms of church can rub shoulders with and support each other.

You can write blogs, start or join a 'Group' or a discussion 'Forum', invite users to be your 'Friend', use the 'What's new' box to write how you're feeling, share files and photos, or read what others are saying.

To take part, follow these three simple steps:

  1. Register - The registration page can be found here. If you are already registered with the main Share website, you will still need to register separately with the Share Community, but feel free to use the same username and password. You will need to confirm your account request by responding to an email sent after your initial registration. You will subsequently receive a further email confirming your account has been activated. You will also receive periodic emails telling you of new activity on the community.
  2. Profile page - Select 'My Account' in the menu bar at the top of the page, then 'Profile', then 'Edit Profile'. Here you can update your profile details, and upload a photo ('avatar') of yourself, if you've not already done so.
  3. Explore and interact - On the top right-hand side of the page you will see links to different parts of the Share Community. You can see blogs that people have written and groups or forums that users have started. Feel free to respond to these, or set up your own. Remember to invite people to become 'Friends'.

If you have any questions, contact the administrator, Andrew Wooding, at: andrew.wooding@freshexpressions.org.uk

    Explanation, I have deleted a post I made a little while ago about belonging to online prayer groups. Other members of the group felt I had compromised their privacy. I didn’t seem to be able to edit it so I deleted it.

    Basically, there is a whole raft of free discussion forum, blog and chat room software available in the internet. Anyone with very basic computer skills can set these up and have them as public or private as desired. Just google.

    The software lends itself to a variety of online prayer types and bible study. Our experience is that it works very well. We are a group with members from different time zones and most of us have never met in real life. We meet regularly for different types of prayer and bible study. Not just intercessory prayer.

        No. It wasn’t the site’s fault! :)

        Our group has a chat room where we meet for real time prayer and chat, and a private BB style forum where we share resources and talk about our spiritual journeys and faith matters.

      How did you meet up in the first place? Are you all in the same country? What prompted you to start an online prayer group? Glad it’s working for you!

        We met through Christian websites, and started praying together over the course of about 3 or 4 years. The current set up has evolved gradually.

        We are not all in the same country.

    Hi, just to introduce me a little….im a member of all souls, hackney(anglican)(but have been a member of baptist, anglican, community and non denominational age group type church)…where i also help out with the youthwork. We run a gathering oppurtunity for young people which is simply called Youth Church, were they get to decide or at least have the oppurtunity for a significant imput into what is going on….previously ive been involved in expressions of church in a flat and in a pub, to name a couple….and try to be involved in local community as much as possible. id be especially pleased to hear from anyone who is involved in any kind of ’church’, in hackney that isn’t bound by the regular conventions or constrictions of the 1662, futile commitees …especially but by no means exclusively in or near hackney,london

    Woolstone pub church has been in the national press :-D Ok so it was a paragaph at the end of an article about something else and they got most of their facts wrong . . . still, not bad for a church of 14 members ;-)
