The Green Article

In researching my article for this month's issue of Technologies for Worship, I found it to be really challenging. After all, my industry has come late to the environmental conversation.

Can Church Tech Teams Really Go Green? grapples with issues of trying to be environmentally concerned in an arena where the concept is a relatively new idea. Not only was the article the cover story, it will also be the issue released at NAB which means the topic will have tremendous exposure. (Love it when my editors are interested in content that intersects with my personal passion!)

For me, the best part of the article was that my issue of TFWM just came to me in a very sustainable way. It was electronic!

Church in the Digial World

Last week, "Church in the Digital World" launched on churchproduction.com. The idea began several months ago as I pitched a series of story ideas that would build on my Church 2.0 article.

There were so many that it began to look like a column that would cover topics that were a little off the radar. Since it was about the digital world, Mark Johnson, pointed out that it should be a digital column. Conversations with Jim Kumorek--who heads up CPM's digital properties--morphed it into "Church in the Digital World" and the blogging began.

The idea was to create a voice to explore how churches can participate in the digital world. Since this is a personal passion of mine, the blog has been a fun one to write. In a small bit of irony, my first post past the intro was on churches in the blogosphere. Blog on!

Me (well my voice anyway) in the Digital World

Okay, I just had the surreal experience of hearing myself on podcast. The podcast was by Church Production Magazine as a follow up to my Church 2.0 article.

A little freaky but also cool.

Church 2.0

My article on Church 2.0 just came out in the Jan/Feb issue of Church Production Magazine.

The premise is that the interactivity of the Web is impacting culture and is going to have an impact on the worship experience.

This one was a lot of fun to research.
