Tim Bednar of e-church has refocused his blog. In his own words:
As the Internet is arguably one of the most powerful forces of social change conceived by humankind, this topic will be the new focus of my blog. I’m going to focus on how the Internet is changing the congregation; thus, transforming the church through its wisdom from the bottom up.
The first three entries (of a planned 20) represent Tim’s understanding of how modern internet-based innovations which are transforming congregations from the bottom up, transformation which is often happening without leadership’s knowledge or understanding:
Beta from Google
Gmail from Google
Folksonomies and Tagging with Del.icio.us and Amazon
Whether or not you agree with Tim’s conclusions (I’m not certain so far, but they have the ring of truth to me), these articles are definitely thought-provoking.
I would encourage you to head on over to e-church and begin grappling with the implications. Start here.
Thanks to Church Marketing Sucks for the heads up.
I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
