Use of Blogs and/or Facebook to facilitate Church programs

I would like to know if there is a Church policy on the use of Facebook and/or Blogs to assist in the administration of a Church program. For example, we are wanting to provide an avenue for parents to provide input into the new Youth Curriculum and it was suggested that we could use a Blog to do so.
Any direction or thoughts?

I've no a Facebook account and I not agree with the suggestion that some local leaders give to have one.
I think that FB is a commercial company and invite to subscribe is an advertisement!
Any way Church has a FB group. I've not yet hear an invitation to partecipate so, IMHO, only Church Website are worthy to be used.
Local leaders can use other resources being well known about advertisement and privacy!

Read carefully Handbook 2:
21.1.22
One of the things you're going to have to figure out is what constitutes a "church" blog and a "personal" blog.
My personal guide line is that if the name of the blog contains the unit name, it a church blog. If a church committee decides what goes in there, then it's probably a church blog.
