Beliefnet Community: Faith-based Social Networking

We liked Beliefnet enough to make it one of this year's Top 100 Classic Websites. The popular site offers a pretty even-handed look at the world's religions, from mainstream Christianity to Falun Gong and beyond. Beginning today, Beliefnet is setting its sights on the sacred territory of social networking, with their new beta Beliefnet Community.

Beliefnet describes the service as "a comprehensive social network designed expressly for religious devotees, spiritual seekers and faith-based groups." Among the suggested uses are meet-ups for book clubs, support groups, bible study, and fan clubs. Members can use the site to create Web sites, calendars, content feeds, and discussion forums. Beliefnet will also incorporate the content of the site--including daily quotes and spiritual wisdom--into the new social network.

The Beliefnet Community will be rolling out additional features, partnerships, groups, and feeds in the coming weeks.
