Who should have permission to send an eMail message to the whole staff? Seems like that would be a very dangerous thing. They should reserved for messages that everyone on the staff is concerned with. They should not be trivia that will just clutter up the inbox of staff members who have no interest.

In the past, we might have just automatically added every new staff person to the All Hands Email List. That way, the Sr Pastor could always reach all of the staff. But times have changed, and that kind of an email blast is not acceptable anymore. Better to let people manage their eMail preferences. They can choose to get eMails to various mailing lists that the Church maintains. That way, no one gets offended (for long, at least.) And everyone has control over their inbox.
