Good to know that he and others are working to give good guidance and are also interested in hearing from the folks in the media trenches themselves. I hope you had an opportunity to present your ideas.Sporting Chance Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362406120338370509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789157.post-35842260713426257272010-06-28T11:19:52.221-05:002010-06-28T11:19:52.221-05:00P.S.

I find my own church (and I've become very lapsed, I am ashamed to say) to be very behind the times in terms of keeping up with modern technology -- except in a key area, where a web site sprang up that was so incredibly negative and divisive it should have been shut down. Truly awful things said about parishioners (it all started with a sexual abuse case by one of our now-defrocked priests, who went to prison). But as someone who has worked with other churches as well, I am drawn to the idea of improving my experience -- going to church has been frustrating for some time. I've been looking at <a href="http://raybarnettbooks.com/gathering.htm" rel="nofollow"> The Gathering</a> by Ray Barnett, which shows from Scripture the way to recover the church's roots and to become an effective community of men and women bound by love for Christ and each other. Easy and compelling to read (outside the Catholic church, but still Christian!) -- and it kind of exposes the big-business institutions as not necessary very connected with what God has shown us in his word about the local church. It's interesting reading, no matter your denomination.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789157.post-412175673389904612010-06-25T21:39:05.497-05:002010-06-25T21:39:05.497-05:00Marika!
