tuesday was my second day at the congress on evangelism. i took in two workshop sessions, one with mike slaughter of ginghamsburg notoriety, and bishop robert schnase of 5 fruitful practices notoriety. the cool part, and the anticipated moment for the day was a sit down conversation with bishop robert schnase about church & technology with some of our "methotweet" & "methoblogger" community.
folks in attendance, were my wifey erin richardson, theresa coleman aka reverend mommy, jay voorhees, amy shanholtzer & stephen drachler, wayne cook aka tnrambler, kathi ambler, bishop schnase, midlife rookie, & amy forbus of dog & God.
some of the things we discussed as i can best frame
- the essence of blogging community & how they are bona-fide relationships for us
- the sharing of information & creative media, creative commons ethos
- communication across the lines of the church, cultivating a relationship connection
- finding the bright voices to lead the church, who are they?
- some of the role of technology in church
- we solved global warming, but jay doesn't think it'll work
- the bishop as a blogger and engaging in social media
- how we have huge divides in the church over a theology of bbq
- plus more
we had some really great conversation for about 3 to 4 hours. a bunch of laughs, stories, and a few deep thoughts. strange though, we didn't talk about twilight or potter puppet pals. i would loved to have discussed that.
i've posted some of the photos from my days hanging out at the congress.
