iPod users in need of some spiritual guidance may be pleased to hear they can now download Christian sermons onto their digital players.
Having observed that there was a "church on almost every corner" in Orlando, Florida, Pastor Andrea Bailey decided to extend her faith to the digital world.
And though her website Cyberpastor.com, which allows daily video sermons to be downloaded to an iPod , is still in development, its audience is already growing rapidly.
Website WMCMedia reports that: Religious podcasts, or "godcasts," are one of the fastest-growing genres of podcasting. Ministries such as Cyberpastor.com are using the internet and podcasting exclusively to get their message out to the masses.
"Traditional churches are also finding they can put the Sunday sermon in the pockets of their congregation members to take with them all week long."
Recent podcasts available for download included Hurting for Religion, Is Religion Good? and Religion or Relationship?.
Cyberpastor.com joins other similar sites in the US such as SermonCast and GodCast1000.com, which collectively serve around 10,000 listeners a week.
