Religious orders as benchmarks for web collaboration

I bumped into the web site Abbaye du Mont des Cats - L'Abbaye Sainte Marie du Mont des Cats, a monastery in Northern France. I found it truly interesting from a community/KM perspective. It is lively (music and video), timely (you know what is currently going on in the monastery, you can download the latest homelies of the abbey etc.), relevant (useful information about life at the monastery, about how to get there etc...), collaborative (prayer intents...)

I should have thought about it earlier. Religious communities are bound to make a very effective use of web-based tools, because they are webs themselves. On the other hand, dictatorships (including corporate dictatorships) cannot. They still misunderstand the web (and intranets) and view it as a medium for propaganda. Of course, they fail, and they blame the tool.
