'Fast sections' are sections of established pages which are newer than the established sections, often very new, containing sparse material, perhaps arranged loosely. The intention is to supplement the material in time, to revise and extend it, even if the section never reaches the comparative length and detail of the established sections. There are examples of 'fast sections' in the page Durham Diocese.

 

Fast pages have similar functions, but in the case of fast pages, all the material will have some of the characteristics of a fast section.

 

New pages can start as fast pages. I find it much better to publish new material intended to be part of a new page earlier rather than later. This suits me much better than keeping the material until there's enough to form a fairly substantial page. A fast page can be regarded as a fast route to publication. It's also a page which isn't very long. It can be read quite quickly, in the early stages, very quickly.

 

An example of a very recent fast page:

 

Durham University Department of Theology and Religion.

 

Established pages without very extensive content are regarded as 'Fast Pages' too.

 

Fast pages can also act as 'Overflow Pages.' Very often, pages become larger and larger, wider and wider, longer and longer, as content is added. I like large, very large pages but there comes a time when content is in danger of being obscured. A Fast Page can give some prominence to this content, when it has been transferred to Fast Page.

 

A Fast Page can act as an Introduction to pages which are much more detailed.

 

These are the existing Fast Pages:

 

Fast Page 2 is an introduction to some topics covered in much more detail in my pages Church Donations, Church Integrity, Church Documents: faith and practice, claims and realities.

 

Fast Page 3, Clergy and congregations: filming and photographing reflects my decision to begin adding to the existing images on my pages on Christian belief and practice. There are already my photographs of churches but now I intend to add photographs of people, including images extracted from film footage. This page can be used to display the images. Text added to accompany the images can produce a well-balanced page. A page made up almost entirely of images wouldn't be good. In general, images need explanation and interpretation.

 

Fast Page 4   will provide content on Durham University. There are already pages on Cambridge University, with content on Oxford University and Royal Holloway, and on Sheffield University. When I was working on the  page  Durham Diocese I realized that it would be useful to publish material on Theology at Durham University, the disadvantages of giving theology power and influence it doesn't deserve in the least. Instead of waiting until I have plenty of material, enough to start a new page, I can publish material as I obtain it and write it.
