Where in the World is 2×2?

Perhaps the most fascinating part of having a blog is the ability to reach the world without lifting your computer from your lap.
Redeemer Lutheran Church in East Falls, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, began its online ministry, 2x2virtualchurch.com, in 2011. For the first six months we were lucky to have a dozen viewers. This month we will have about 10,000. As we grow in numbers we grow in reach.
We have a little app in our widget bar (Cluster Maps) that tells us the locations of the last ten visitors. That’s how we know 2×2 has reached well over 100 countries and every state in the Union! You can see for yourself!
We have no idea the quality or purpose of these visits, but it is interesting to note that for some reason someone, somewhere, somehow answered our timid knock on the door.
Each Saturday, we’ll feature the location of one of our site visitors. What better way to prove what we’ve been saying about the potential reach of Social Media!
This week, someone from Grajewo, Poland, visited 2×2.
Grajewo is a small town of about 24,000 people in northeastern Poland. Its Wikipedia site features a neo-Gothic Church (Holy Trinity). It has a rich Jewish history, including some noted Jewish leaders and rabbis. It undoubtedly suffered during the Holocaust as one of its prominent community members is credited with a Holocaust Memorial Book. Wikipedia also mentions without much detail a history of roadside chapels dating to the 1800s. Wish there were more information available in English—or that we could read Polish!
Welcome, Grajewo!
