# A Computer in the Congregation

As an avid Timex/Sinclair “computerist” and pastor, I am convinced that the computer does indeed have a bright future in the church, and that every church can reap enormous benefits from owning its own system. I am, moreover, completely biased toward the Timex/Sinclair 1000 computer, which is the core of the system I own.
