There is also a good range of bible versions to download. 0ur pastor is particularly happy to have the amplified version.

I am in the process of setting up a digital announcement board which will run on an old computer I'm setting up at the church. I was planning on using PowerPoint to display our information but hoped to find something a little more flexible.

I'd really like somethign with a wiki style markup that can render into a single continuous screen for viewing.

Some decent Open Source presentation software. I have searched so long to find this. Thank you so much. I really dislike the way PowerPoint fails the church community and cringe at some of the work arounds we have to put in place to try and fake presentation software because we can't afford it. I'll let you know how we get on. Thank you. At last! Some decent Open Source presentation software. I have searched so long to find this. Thank you so much.

Sadly the development is quite slow, and there is no powerpoint integration, which is a pain. But I like the layout and usage of it very much.
