Communications

As church communities continue to grow and spread around the world, the efficient and secure communication of ideas and information has become an essential part of church administration. In the case of secret churches, these challenges become even more profound due to the confidential and sensitive nature of the information shared. What follows are 10 specific ways to organize a secure and efficient communication system for a secret church and its members. 

The first step is to look into the use of encrypted emails. This means emails sent from one person to another will be encoded or encrypted before being sent, ensuring that only the sender and receiver can access the contents. Additionally, email accounts can be made for each member, allowing for easy communication and organization.

Second, consider investing in a file sharing system. This type of system can be used to share sensitive documents and files, securely and quickly. The sharing of documents could be done with a password or other form of authentication, to ensure only intended members have access.

Third, investigate and consider the benefit of using a secure chat system. By using a secure chat system, members can communicate quickly and easily, without worrying about security or confidentiality of the messages being sent.

Fourth, consider implementing and utilizing digital signatures for official documents and forms. By allowing for secure and valid digital signatures to be entered onto documents or forms, the church’s activities and administrative decisions can be kept confidential and secure.

Fifth, consider the provision of external and secure storage systems, such as cloud storage. With a suitable cloud storage provider, the church and its members can store, share and access documents and files securely and efficiently.

Sixth, investigate the type of encrypted communication devices available. As a secure way to communicate information quickly and securely, encrypted communication devices, such as phones and tablets, have become increasingly popular within the church community.

Eighth, look into secure document management systems, such as Box. By using secure document management systems, the church and its members can securely store, share and access church documents, safely and efficiently.

Ninth, look into Voice-over-IP (VoIP) services, such as Skype and Slack. Communicating securely via voice calls is possible with these services, and members can benefit from being able to discuss issues and ideas in real-time.

Finally, investigate the secure audio streaming services that are available. Listening to spiritual retreats and invocations could be made easier and more secure with a secure audio streaming service, such as Google Play Music.
