Religion in the 21st Century
I found an interesting article on Cnet about how some churches are embracing 21st century technology with open arms. This article profiles an American church — the New Life Church, and discusses some of the technologies they use to communicate their message which include Facebook, Twitter and podcasting (audio and video). We have a church here in Winnipeg — Spring’s Church, which engages in similar activities.
Religion aside, many businesses and non-profit organizations could learn a thing or two from some of these megachurches. Having a serious message doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun and make use of the latest technologies to stay in contact with existing members and reach out to new members. It makes no sense in this day and age to not make use of social networking — especially if you’re trying to reach a younger audience.
