RSS (most commonly translated as "Really Simple Syndication" but sometimes "Rich Site Summary") is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works - such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video-in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed" or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader" or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's URI - often referred to informally as a "URL" (uniform resource locator), although technically the two terms are not exactly synonymous - or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.
The New Testament Church of God uses RSS to syndicate and make available blog updates from our individual portals and content providers. The Feeds are constructed according to the Portal that you are currently on and you can follow the activities on that portal by subscribing to the feed. The table below gives a breakdown of the content available.

GeneralThe New Testament Church of God is trialing RSS as a means of improving communication between the general church organization. The introduction of Blogs will allow Department Heads, Ministers and Churches etc to update members and followers as to what is happening locally or at the national level. There will be a phased rollout of the program but eventually by the end of the year all areas of the organization will be able to have access to this service.
