GARNERING YOUR SUPPORT
Dear VOL readers,
Each and every day, thousands of you come to this website to get the news - 7 days a week, 24 hours a day -- from 150 countries around the world. Without fail, there is always something new to read. It is posted easily and conveniently for you to read with one click. Newly posted stories come to you from across the globe.
From straight hard news to news analysis and commentary, VOL provides the best in Anglican news, with additional stories about the Culture Wars, theology, archeology, and AS EYE SEE IT commentaries, that rank among the finest in the Anglican Communion.
No effort is spared in providing you with the brightest analyses and the best of Anglican news. VOL has people scouring the world looking for exclusive stories. A web master keeps the website clean; an attorney reads all of my stories for libel; a copy-editor keeps the stories as grammatically correct as is possible. They are part of the "hidden" team of VirtueOnline that get little glory, but without whose presence day and night, VOL would cease to exist.
By the latest reckoning (and this changes daily), nearly 200,000 unique visitors come to VOL's website from nearly 150 countries, every month and stay for 5 minutes and read more than 600,000 pages of text which is not insignificant.
VOL is the most widely read and respected source of news for Global South Primates, bishops, clergy and laity.
To keep this coming to you in 2008, we DO need your support. Nobody is getting rich off VOL. Sixty and 70-hour work weeks are common. Vacations are always working vacations. There is no such thing as a day off.
VIRTUEONLINE is looking for 100 regular readers in 2008 to commit themselves to making a financial commitment of $150.00 per month for one full year to keep this ministry on a sound financial basis. 2008 will see major changes and new configurations in the Episcopal Church and the wider Anglican Communion, as the realignment takes shape. There will, in all likelihood, be two Lambeth conferences, not one. Both will need to be covered with a team of VOL writers. VOL is committed to being present at all the major events, both at home and abroad. If you are willing to be one of those persons, please write to me personally at david@virtueonline.org
If you can only make a single tax-deductible donation, that is also greatly appreciated. We do not ask for your tithe. We only ask you to reflect on how important this ministry is to you and to give accordingly.
You can send a check by snail mail to:

Thank you for your support.
Advent Blessings,
David W. Virtue DD
