Church of Ireland Notes from ‘The Irish Times’
Communication
Communication strategies in the Church continue to improve. Parish website managers can now find everything about hosting a website through the anglican.org domain system all in one place. The page will also be useful for rectors and select vestry members in their roles in planning and providing online media content.
This includes the 9–page Guide to Church of Ireland Hosting Services resource, which outlines how parish websites with the anglican.org domain name can be hosted, updated and backed up, and how to request an email address redirect to an anglican.org address.
Payments for SSL certificates can also be made through a QR code and the linked Stripe website – details for making payments by cheque are also provided.
Details are available in the Parish Resources section of the Church of Ireland website: www.churchofireland.org/webmasters
