UPDATE: The renovation/upgrade/change has been a success!  Please update your links to represent our new URL, https://06fdd7169c.nxcli.net, and our new name, Big Pulpit.  The old URL, http://thepulp.it, will only be up until the end of the month, so please don’t hesitate to change.  Please email me if you have any problems loading the page.

 

Today, Tuesday, 17 July, at 5:00pm U.S. Central Time Big Pulpit will be moving our URL from ‘thepulp.it‘ to ‘bigpulpit.com‘.

 

This should take no more than a couple of hours or so.  But I am hoping it will only take about 30 minutes, it is hard to tell because of unforeseen hiccups while switching URL’s.

 

So please bear with me today.  This move is very important in the growth of this website in order to be more effective in the New Evangelization.

 

Thank you and God Bless.
