Their presentation was at once entertaining and challenging, a little irreverent, and all around great fun. They discussed the history of their site, some Web principles that they try to follow (and how those things manifest themselves on Ship of Fools), and the bleeding-edge (first of its kind) Internet reality game show they created last year called The Ark.

My brethren from the other side of the pond -- with their "fiercely independent" spirit and "outside the box" thinking -- stood in stark contrast to the standard Internet ministry fare offered by the other presenters. (The other guys were literally touting their pre-packaged Internet ministry "products" and "solutions." Not that there's anything wrong with that ...)

Steve and Simon even had the audacity (or stupidity, some might argue) to proudly declare at a seminar on evangelism that they explicitly set out not to do evangelism. But, nevertheless, their site has done just that for many spiritually seeking and cynical people in the UK and around the world.
