The Churches Advertising Network (CAN) is planning to create a series of posters based around the concept of overcoming regret for past mistakes and starting over with a second chance at life. They have an island in SL designed to resemble first-century Palestine, which will host the posters and later, a nativity movie for residents to enjoy, leading up to Christmas.The island links to secondlifechance.co.uk, the website devoted to fostering the messages of the Christian faith. This site has been active in taking advantage of online networks, having previously created a page on MySpace, attracting some 2,235 friends.
The increasing acceptance of SL among religious groups is a good sign of its potential longevity and value among those who don't consider themselves early adopters. The question of whether or not there is worth in SL is answered by the interest itself; value is created by simply trying it out. Christmas is on its way, and whatever your personal feelings toward the holiday, it's going to be fun to see what residents will cook up to deck our virtual halls.

1. Christmas in SL:
"Deck the halls with prims of holly"
"It came up..up.upon a mid mi miii midni midniight ....

"Jingle bells, jingle bells" (banned for sound spam mix)
"Joy to the world, havoc4 has come"
ok ok.. it's way early, but Akela started it. :P
