Changes

Although Christianity is the largest religion in the world and there are massive missionary efforts under way, as a whole it is declining in terms of the overall population. While the population of the world grows at roughly 1.25% per year, [[The essence of Christianity|Christianity]] is growing at about 1.12% per year. By contrast, [[Islam]] is growing at 1.76% per year. The slow growth can be attributed to most of the Christian population residing in affluent nations where the birth rate is quite low. By contrast, Islamic nations have a higher birth rate and by effect have a larger growth percentage.

==New to Wiki?==

A wiki (pronounced "wicky", "weekee" or "veekee") is a website that allows a user to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows that content to be edited by anybody. Wiki wiki comes from the Hawaiian term for "quick" or "super-fast." Since the page history is stored, the pages can be reverted back in case of vandalism. Since its first introduction on March 25, 1995, as Portland Pattern Repository by [[Ward Cunningham]], Wiki Wiki Webs became quickly popular, thanks to the revolutionary concept of users editing any page in the wiki. Since the page history is stored, the pages can be reverted back in case of vandalism. The phenomenal success of wikis is exemplified by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page wikipedia], started in January 2001 working on over 433508 articles as of December, 2004.
