Does CE Work in Community?

My regards to Boaz, author of Not the Southern Cross, for his comments about Moore Theological College and Covenant Eyes. (For new readers, read here about Moore’s new initiative to encourage the use of Covenant Eyes at their school.)

I found one comment very interesting: “The Covenant Eyes is not going to help this situation, it’s only going to make things worse. I predict some people will become quite anxious and some may get depressed and there is the risk of suicidal behaviour. I would refuse to sign up for it, simply on principle.” <sic>

I would be very interested in hearing from our customers about the effectiveness of Covenant Eyes when it is broadly implemented across a community (such as at a school or in a church). Because the vast majority of Covenant Eyes users are individuals and families, we don’t have many statistics about the usefulness of CE-use as policy in a large community. We’ve received many great testimonies via email and phone about the positive effects of CE from individuals. I hope to see the same track record in institutions like Moore. I suppose time and constant observation will provide the needed information.

Comments anyone?
