One of our readers, Graeme, recently wrote me with this question:
Have you come across anything new in the technology field that allows the deaf and hearing impaired to be included in contemporary church worship services? I personally consider there is something “out there” that (for instance) converts voice to text to include the deaf and hearing impaired and also two other groups : English as a second language and visual learners. Through an employee I have become privy to the isolated world of the deaf and want to see our church provide a way to include these members of our society. Signing is not an entirely practical solution in the postmodern church because of the variety of speakers and hosts who do not entirely work from a prepared script.
Does anyone have any ideas for Graeme? Please use comments to contribute your ideas so we can all benefit. Thanks!
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.
