The church in America is in the middle of this really big conversation about technology and media. Certainly, media and technology have taken big strides forward in the last few years. It has changed how the country operates.
Like him or not, one of the reasons Barack Obama was able to communicate his message so effectively was because his team leveraged technology and media in way that no candidate had ever done before.
This post is not about explanation; it's about conversation.
What does that mean? Well, I'll put it subtly: Comment.
The question is what is your church doing to leverage technology and media, or what have you heard of other churches doing?
It doesn't have to be anything special or spectacular. Just post your stuff.

Recently we have established an IT, Media & Communication Meeting. In this meeting all of the doers of technology get together and brainstorm and carry out the future our our church's media use.
A short list of our recent accomplishments: Facebook (A church page dedicated to all-church events), Securing Twitter account names for future use, Online event Registration(with payments), internal use of an intranet & sharepoint, upgrading our internal church database using Arena(a product of Shelby)and future talk of online giving, website restructuring, Sunday morning video use and the list could go on. The truth is that technology is here to say, and those that ignore it will only be left behind. I'm interested to see how other churches are moving into the future. - Sam Cornwell, www.christian-life.com
Great stuff Sam. CLA has some top-of-the-line media and equipment.
I really like the idea of securing your twitter real estate.
