History of Christian Wikis
The first Christian wiki was Clublet[1], begun by Richard Drake in 2000.
Another early Christian wiki was Compass, which was set up by Richard Hall in early 2001. This is no longer online.
In late 2004 WikiChristian was set up as a non-denominational wiki for Christianity.
Other wikis developed in early 2005 including Orthodox Wiki (for Eastern Orthodoxy) and Theopedia (for Reformed Protestantism).
In 2006 and 2007 there was a brief explosion of Christian wikis, particularly "Bible" wikis dedicated to Biblical Christianity, such as Wikible. Most of these wikis have since disappeared because of lack of interest by web-users.
On August 23, 2009, Robert Pierce (Master Frederique) founded LifeMusic Wiki, a database on Christian music. It is now the largest Christian music wiki and the second largest Christian wiki.
No Christian wikis have achieved anything like the numerical success of editors that wikipedia has. Currently there are only four English-language Christian wikis that have regular daily users. These are Theopedia, OrthodoxWiki, LifeMusic Wiki, and WikiChristian, WikiChristian being the largest.
