Started in 1998 to provide online resources for pastors and Christian leaders, this website has garnered lots of publicity when it was first launched. There is a formidable pool of popular leaders and famous speakers in the evangelical world. The subscriber lists and teachers sound impressive. Yet, as of today (1st July 2010), the CCN website has this terse announcement above. Without going into the details of what are the challenges CCN faced over the past two years, it is fair to say that CCN is yet another victim of the economic problems America is facing.
Online ministries have promise. Yet, it comes with its share of risks. I got a feeling that the economic downturn is not exactly the main problem. I suspect that the ongoing fragmentation of evangelicalism is the main culprit.

Do you know if there's an archive of resources from the site?
