I am the director of user-generated media for Beliefnet.com. It's a privilege to be at the receiving end of so many great photos, pieces of audio and video from the community. There is so much incredible creativity in this network and I am certain that what we see so far is only the beginning.

I encourage everyone in the community to keep expressing themselves in this way. Ideas thoughts, opinions and emotions are often most powerfully communicated in images and music or sermon. Use the various media tools (photo/audio/video upload) to post your perspective, your beliefs, your impressions of life. Beliefnet is all about people sharing perspectives and finding strength in the perspectives of others .

So thanks, again, for being a part of this great community. We have lots of ideas for inspiring your creativity, so stay tuned. Keep checking out the site for special contests and call-outs that will give everyone the chance to have their work featured in a special way.

 

See you online.
