Core Values

I have a question for readers of my blog: Should a church's core values be placed on their website? If so, why? If not, why not?

I see both sides of the issue. On the one hand, interested people should be able to know what the church sees as its core values. After all, these values have been written down to serve as a public resource for the church's general direction.

On the other hand, isn't that just marketing to church people? Who reads these core values anyway? Shouldn't core values be an internal document for the church and its leadership to use when making decisions?

Talk to me!

I lean toward publishing, as an increasing number of people exchange information on the web anyway,and what we communicate will deliver our values whether they be embedded or overt.
