Geoff,
	Are you talking about the initial CD splash screen?  If so, allowing a
simple button that, when pressed, pulls up a browser pointing to an url
on the CD is very simple.  I almost would think that a church might want
to just create their own splash screen.  I'm all for either.  If you
would like, I will add an option to the current splash screen that
checks a config file for a church url and button label, and if it finds
one, will place the button on the splash screen.  Let me know if this is
what you are thinking.
