Blake,

Our church site is a Wordpress site.   You can see what it looks like 
here: http://www.rlcs-slc.org/

There are so many plugins and utilities for WP that just about 
everything we need to do we can do in WP.  I particularly like the email 
an article/update option.  Makes the whole thing very easy to manage.

There are a couple of basic CMS's for Ruby on Rails as well.  I am 
running Radiant on i here: http://www.roroni.com but there is also a 
Refinery CMS as well.  Rails apps run quite nicely on i as well (much 
like PHP apps).

Plenty of options on i.
