Helping religious leaders become theologically savvy about technology

Faith communities and their leaders need help navigating the changing landscape of communication in America today. What’s the latest social media trend? Will it last? How do I use YouTube? Should I podcast or not? What does it all mean?

Some pastors are experimenting with blogging, Facebook, and Twitter, while others avoid the Internet out of caution for the unintended complications that sometimes accompany social media—like the post-worship parking lot gossip that used to dissipate by noon, but now zips through cyber-space for weeks! Some pastors would rather rely on print newsletters to keep people informed, while others are tweeting prayer requests to ever larger circles. Is it all for better or for worse?
