Greetings bro!! My name is Mark Brown I am CEO of the Bible Society in NZ and leader of the Anglican Community in SL.. I would love to chat sometime soon; the interplay between the virtual platform and spirituality engages me immensely.
Hi Mark. Thanks for dropping by. The Second Life project sounds intriguing and I’d like to hear more about it sometime. I take it that you’re based in the heavenly city of Wellington?
Stephen.
