Day 3 Digital Conference

Friday I plan to attend a special conference about the use of digital technology in the servoce of the Gospel. It is happening in North Sydney, just a short train ride over the Harbour Bridge. This promises to be a very significant event in the unfolding of my sabbatical as it it exactly what I am here for. Materials that I have seen say: "The Conference seeks to assist ministers of the gospel living in an Information Society by seizing the new opportunities new media presents and proceed afresh and with confidence. The Conference will include presentations from skilled practitioners, opportunities for discussion, the addressing of key questions from the fl oor and the sharing of resources."

I know at least three people who will be there and we all have high expectations. I hope we will be inspired. Just the fact that such things are being actively talked about is a very positive sign of the times. We are fast becoming a digital culture. We already are a visual culture and one which too often revolves around 30 second sound bites and video clips. If we, the Church, are to speak to our world of God's unconditional love, then we must speak the language of our times and embrace its culture!
