A SHORT HISTORY: futurechurch was a project of the (now defunct0 Anglican based Women's Resource Centre with funding from the Methodist Future's Group. The project began in late 2001 and had funding for five years.  This funding was withdrawn in 2005, and the project became reliant on goodwill from those using the site, and spare time of Steve Taylor.  Although we received funding and support from the Anglican and Methodist Church, futurechurch was and is ecumenical and non-denominational.

Rosemary Neave was the futurechurch networker until mid 2005 working out of her home in Waipu North of Auckland, where she runs a women's guest house - Waihoihoi Lodge.  You can also keep track of her via her Spirited Conversations Blog.
