Book excerpt: The Step-By-Step Manual For Using The Internet To Reach More Souls, Disciple Christians, Increase Church Funding, And Improve Church Fellowship. “The Harvest Is Plentiful For The Church On The Internet But The Laborers Are Largely Un Educated About What To Do To Bring In The Harvest!

Book Synopsis Fresh Expressions in a Digital Age by : Michael Adam Beck
Download or read book Fresh Expressions in a Digital Age written by Michael Adam Beck and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh Expressions is a canary in the coal mine, alerting congregations to reevaluate what the Church is, where and when it can happen, and who can lead it. Church as we know it is inaccessible to most people. A fundamental premise of the movement is that Church can become accessible again by emerging in every nook and cranny where life already happens. Fresh Expressions is based in simplification, returning to basic scriptural principles, and a recovery of a "priesthood of all believers"--in the three places where people live and relate to others. First Place: The home or primary place of residence. Second Place: The workplace or school place. Third Place: The public places separate from the two usual social environments of home and workplace, which host regular, voluntary, informal, and neutral spaces of communion and play. Examples are environments such as cafes, pubs, theaters, parks, and so on. During a pandemic, our two primary mission spaces were closed off; the second and third places were shut down. We couldn't have Tattoo Parlor Church; the tattoo parlor was closed. We couldn't gather in Moe's Southwest Grill for Burritos and Bibles; they were doing take-out only. The dog park was empty; no Paws of Praise. This limited us to the only spaces we have left: the first place, or the home place. The digital place, or the "space of flows." This forces us into recognizing the digital space as its own kind of third place, a new missional frontier.

Book Synopsis Grace and Gigabytes: Being Church in a Tech-Shaped Culture by : Ryan M. Panzer
Download or read book Grace and Gigabytes: Being Church in a Tech-Shaped Culture written by Ryan M. Panzer and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace and Gigabytes: Being Church in a Tech-Shaped Culture explores change and ministry at the intersection of technology, culture, and church. In today's tech-shaped culture, we learn and we know through questions, connection, collaboration, and creativity--the networked values of the digital age. Drawing on experiences from a career as an instructional designer in the technology industry and a lifetime of leadership in the Lutheran church, Ryan M. Panzer argues that digital technology is not a set of tools, but a force for cultural transformation that has profound implications for ministry.Grace and Gigabytes explores shifts in culture that have heightened amid accelerated adoption and use of digital media. Just as previous revolutions in technology have disrupted culture, especially processes of cultural meaning-making related to faith and spirituality, so we are living through a powerful revolution of digital technology, culture, and spiritual thought. This revolution calls the church to change. This needed change requires not so much a shift in tactics: launching a website, building a podcast, or starting a social media page. The change is a philosophical pivot: prioritizing collaboration, making the flow of knowledge more dynamic, celebrating connection and creativity, and always affirming the question. Panzer discusses each of these philosophical pivots, describing their technological origins. He tells stories of ministries that have aligned to this cultural moment. And he provides concrete recommendations for the practice of ministry in a digital age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Newly Updated and Rebranded Edition of The Deliberate Church If churches are the dwelling place of God's Spirit, why are so many built around the strategies of man? Eager for church growth, leaders can be lured by entertaining new schemes, forgetting to keep doctrinal truth as their driving force. Churches must find a way out of the maze of programs and methods and humbly lean on the sufficiency of God's Word. How to Build a Healthy Church, a revised and expanded edition of The Deliberate Church, challenges leaders to evaluate their motivations for ministry and provides practical examples of healthy, deliberate leadership. Written as a companion handbook for Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, it covers important topics including membership, worship, responsible evangelism, and church roles. This is more than a step-by-step plan to mimic; it's a biblical blueprint for pastors, elders, and anyone committed to the church's vitality.
Book Synopsis Networking the Black Church by : Erika D. Gault
Download or read book Networking the Black Church written by Erika D. Gault and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a timely portrait of young Black Christians and how digital technology is transforming the Black Church They stand at the forefront of the Black Lives Matter movement, push the boundaries of the Black Church through online expression of Christian hip hop, and redefine what it means to be young, Black, and Christian in America. Young Black adults represent the future of African American religiosity, yet little is known regarding their religious lives beyond the Black Church. Networking the Black Church explores how deeply embedded digital technology is in the lives of young Black Christians, offering a first-of-its-kind digital-hip hop ethnography. Erika D. Gault argues that a new religious ethos has emerged among young adult Blacks in America. To understand Black Christianity today it is not enough to look at the traditional Black Church. The Black Church is itself being changed by what she calls digital Black Christians. The volume examines the ways in which Christian hip hop artists who have adopted Black-preaching-inspired spoken word performances create alternate kinds of Christian communities both inside and outside the walls of traditional Black churches. Framed around interviews with prominent Black Christian hip hop artists, it explores the multiple ways that digital Black Christians construct religious identity and meaning through video-sharing and social media. In the process, these digital Black Christians are changing Black churches as institutions, transforming modes of religious activism, inventing new communication practices around evangelism and Christian identity, and streamlining the accessibility of Black Church cultural practices in popular culture. Erika D. Gault provides a fascinating portrait of young Black faith, illuminating how the relationship between religion and digital media is changing the lived experiences of a new generation of Black Christians.

Book Synopsis Churches - Their Plan and Furnishing by : Peter F. Anson
Download or read book Churches - Their Plan and Furnishing written by Peter F. Anson and published by Anson Press. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHURCHES THEIR PLAN and FURNISHING by PETER F. ANSON. EDITOR'S NOTE: Peter Anson has asked me to Americanize his book, and to add such notes as will make it provocative for the reading public in this country. He insistently told me not to pull any punches, and to be my own self as he knows me from articles and letters. Peter and I are old friends from the days when he drifted into our rectory at Bremerhaven to our last meeting in Ascot and my visit to his temporary home near Gravesend, where he had time to indulge his passion looking at ships. His marine background and love for the sea should not deceive us. As a former Anglican and then Catholic monk of Caldey, and as a Tertiary of St. Francis and addict of quiet little monas teries in small Umbrian towns and on Tuscan hillsides, his architectural train ing and ecclesiastical background are more than sufficient to equip him to write this book, and to write it well enough to make it not only interesting, but also safe and instructive reading for priests, architects, seminarians, and sacristans. It competes with any ordinary book on matters rubrical and liturgical by its use of common sense and historical knowledge, instead of piling up moun tains of authors, authorities, and mere legal decisions. The outstanding feature is the fact that Peter Anson represents the liturgical wing of art, architecture, and rubrics. He is thoroughly and refreshingly British, but not to a degree which might make him appear as foreign on our shores. He is imbued with what is good in tradition, and modern with an ingredient of Anglo-Saxon humor. I had little to add, and less to change, and when I did so, the initials H. A. R. warn the reader of it. In a few places, as Anson's excursion on rood-screens, I registered mild disagreement. In a few places I felt called upon to reinforce the color of the author's statement, which seemed too pale to me, in view of the fact that he had touched on a subject more burning here than in Britain. This is a practical book. It will help any man who feels that he agrees with the tenets of the liturgical movement, but cannot find a down-to-earth application of its lofty principles. Especially the parish priest and the architect who can not go to the expensive places that make the right things well will welcome this book as a good friend for those who have to make small means do. . A. R. March 1, 1946. FOREWORD: The object of this book is to provide the clergy and laity with a practical guide to the building and remodelling of Catholic churches, and to give a summary of the laws governing their planning and furnishing. When it was being written nearly four years ago I imagined that in all the war-stricken countries of Europe, once peace had been declared, there would be a revival of church building on a scale that had never occurred for many centuries. Many churches needed to be rebuilt. Others which had been destroyed by enemy action might not be required, for ev

Book Synopsis From Social Media to Social Ministry by : Nona Jones
Download or read book From Social Media to Social Ministry written by Nona Jones and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines digital discipleship principles for building an online community and provides practical instruction for how to do it no matter how big or small a local church may be. There are more than 2.3 billion professing Christians in the world and more and more new churches launching globally, yet statistics show that in-person church attendance is declining or plateauing in every nation. Although social technology has been around for more than two decades, church leaders have long bristled at the idea of church online, ranking it as the last concern on their minds in Barna's 2020 state of the church report published February 3, 2020. And then, three weeks later, COVID-19 closed the doors of every church on earth and suddenly forced them entirely online. Nona Jones, a globally acclaimed thought leader on leveraging technology for ministry, had been leading a movement and sounding the alarm for several years to make digital discipleship a central part of every church’s ministry approach. In From Social Media to Social Ministry, she outlines her digital discipleship principles and provides practical instruction for how to do it no matter how big or small a local church may be. There are plenty of books to help churches build a social media strategy, but this is the first book of its kind that goes beyond digital marketing to digital ministry. Readers will leave this book with: Clarity on what discipleship truly is The data that underscores the urgency for digital discipleship Understanding of the resources required to do it well A step-by-step guide on how to implement digital discipleship into ministry plans Knowledge of the differences among and purposes of the most popular social platforms, as well as the tools best positioned for digital ministry
