SOFTWARE: Viewers of Internet porn held accountable
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 32
Covenant Eyes also provides training materials to accountability partners teaching them how to read the reports and what to do if a user appears to be visiting questionable sites.
"The whole get is to get people talking," McClurg said. "The accountability partner is going to contact the user and say, 'Harry, John or Sally can you explain to me what you're doing over here at this site?'"
Subscribers pay between $2.50 and $6.95 a month for the service. With some 20,000 users worldwide, that means Covenant Eyes brings in a considerable revenue stream.
But McClurg said the pricing structure was devised to cover only basic operational costs and provide Covenant employees with a living wage, not to make a profit.
"Christians have really struggled with secret second lives. With the software program you are saying'I really want to bring this thing to light, and I want to deal with my own struggles."
Mark Brown
Director of University of Kansas' branch of Campus Crusade
While leaders on college campuses, like Brown, who has included a link to the Covenant Eyes Web site on the Campus Crusade for Christ's homepage, have endorsed the program for use among students, it's primary users are ministers and church staff members. Brown and another staff member at
Campus Crusade for Christ subscribe to the program.
"All of the leaders of church ministry need to be accountable on the Internet because there is a lot of temptation there, and if they stray, it can cause a lot of devastation in their ministry," McClurg said.
And, as Brown has experienced, serving as an adviser to students who are dealing with the problem of pornography addiction can provide ministers themselves with an unanticipated source of temptation.
Before coming to Kansas, Brown served as a Crusade for Christ leader at Northwestern University.
It was there, during the late 1990s, that he first encountered students who were struggling with Internet pornography.
"When you sit down with students who say, I'm struggling with this, and
this is what I did, and this is how I did it," you are armed with an arsenal of information that could be self destructive," Brown said.
While it might seem strange that religious men are ones openly confronting the issue of pornography, it is their very religious beliefs that cause devout Christians to view pornography as a more serious problem than their secular peers.
Brown said that many Christian men feel heavy-pressure to keep free of sin. As such, when they do slip up, they may be more inclined to keep their problems secret — a pattern which can fuel the escalation of a problem.
"Christians have really struggled with secret second lives," Brown said. "With the software program you are saying, 'I really want to bring this thing to light, and I want to deal with my own struggles.'"
