The Internet is Our Parish : Building Online Communities & Websites
Wondering how to get into blogging? Need a cooler church website? Want to podcast for your congregation? No money? Need help getting your message out? This workshop can help you. In what will be somewhat structured as Q&A of steps and tricks to putting the message of the church onto the internet for a global audience. If you have ever thought or said "How can we do that?" "I wish we had a better.." etc. Then this workshop is for you.
The Internet is Our Parish : Ministry & Community is a Global Cyber Community
From Second Life, Myspace, Facebook, Ning, MyYearBook, YouTube, GodTube, MyChurch, Flickr, Wikipedia, LinkedIn, Xanga, Twitter, Blogger, Wordpress, Habbo, Zoomer, TakeItGlobal, etc. we know the numbers of people interacting on the internet is staggering. You are probably finding out about this workshop via the internet. When John Wesley said "the world is my parish" he didn't imagine a cyber world, but what does it mean to live out that calling in a growing cyber world? We will look at and discuss the places that are interacted with, "the next great thing," drawbacks of online social interactions, and the many opportunities for us to be the church for people via the internet.
