New Tech and its Implications for the Church

I'm not just a "Sunday morning software guy." I follow and dicuss and write about technology issues for the church as well.

This past week's TIME magazine had an article about a church using TWITTER during worship services. Members were encouraged to use their cellphones and laptops to 'talk back' especially during the sermon... and their comments were projected on a big screen.

I wrote about Twitter and churches several months ago, -explaining it to pastors and volunteers, and how it can be used to instantly broadcast important messages. (Not sure I'd recommend it for worship however!)

The article also discusses using instant messaging, live chat at church websites, and Facebook in your ministry. You can read the complete article at http://www.sundaysoftware.com/articles/newtech.htm
