Actually, it would be good to go beyond passive acceptance here. Think about what should be in the API, discuss it (use this list to keep the discussion available) -- the church might not use all of the ideas that come up, but they will be seen, discussed, and (maybe) used.

Just one more note, by way of suggestion. In terms of how the API would work, I'd recommend taking a look at the XML APIs available from the following sites:

- Google search/maps (www.google.com/apis/)
- Amazon (www.amazon.com/gp/aws/landing.html)
- Yahoo (developer.yahoo.net)
- Flickr (www.flickr.com/services/api/)
- Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com/services/api/)

As for other sites offering web service APIs, this site has some useful information and lots of examples of sites providing APIs as well as example applications of how people are using these APIs:
