I think the way they're doing it is a left-over from GeekLog, and I personally think it needs to change before glFusion can be a mainstream cms.

It is a bit challenging to figure what file controls what theme at present. Otherwise it seems to be a quite complete CMS. I think the themes thing in glFusion is what will frustrate most people.

And I'm not just talking about those packaged deals that provide a website OR an attendance monitor OR a stewardship/giving manager--those all proliferate the problem (and at an extremely inflated price.) The time is right and the technology is now available and practical to do exactly as The Squig suggests: pull all these things into one coherent and supported package. I think the problem is largely caused by a lack of communication and a lack of imagination...of what is possible. Lack of imagination on the part of church bodies as to of what is possible in the realm of using technology for the Kingdom. And lack of communication on the part of those of us in the congregations who know of what is possible in the realm of using technology for the Kingdom. Maybe we should get serious and follow through with what The Squig and his minister friend already started: let's sit down and talk about what is needed and then chat about how we can make it happen.
