Do you love standing in the midst of the change explored in this video?
I do. Maybe, it’s because I love history so much and loved reading about the Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, etc, but there’s something fascinating about living in a generation that is on the verge of a major shift in history, especially such a fundamental shift that touches almost every realm of our lives- thinking, religion, economics, politics, and on and on.
This video really captures these changes and not just in terms of content, but also visually and in terms of media. It is produced and shared on YouTube and expects responses, which is exactly the revolution that it’s discussing.
So where does the Church fit into this picture? How does the sharing revolution affect us? Certainly churches are jumping on board to take advantage of the web, sharing ideas, sermons, Bible studies, music, and more online. GodTube was actually the fastest growing website during August of 2007.
What elements of this culture of sharing and innovation do you find positive for the church? What elements of it have you used?
At the same time, what elements give you pause? The video makes a good point that in the information sharing age, there are concerns about privacy, economics, and whether or not the material that is being shared is accurate and of highest quality.
Give me your thoughts. Remember, simply by reading this blog and posting a response, you are becoming part of this modern day movement.
