Not just for young clergy, but for leaders across the church. Thank you for offering your wisdom in ways that are helpful and practical. Marcia – These are fantastic.

I will not have an opportunity to attend one of them and am grateful for the information on what was communicated and what ideas were gathered. I was particularly interested in the technology / house church connection and your commitment to see a vibrant church in all areas. Marcia – Thanks for your response from the listening event.

]]> Comment on Answering the Call by The Cybernetic Entomologist http://mcphilbrick.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/answering-the-call/#comment-32 The Cybernetic Entomologist Sat, 24 Jan 2009 03:30:41 +0000 http://mcphilbrick.wordpress.com/?p=63#comment-32 It's interesting that you mention hooking the stream up to a projector and bringing church to the masses. This is something that's already been happening on an ad-hoc basis. We have several impromptu house-church groups that are forming around the live stream, and it's fascinating. Adam showed some video footage this evening of this at a local senior living center, and the response has been great. And in our 2009 strategic goals, we're going to be more deliberate about this. I'm now trying to figure out a way to make this into an easily deployed hardware package that we can take to one of these new house churches. Just for clarification, the 900 number is an estimate of how many actual people were watching. Data we've collected tells us about how many people are watching per stream on average. That week we had 530 computers pulling down the stream between the two services. It’s interesting that you mention hooking the stream up to a projector and bringing church to the masses.

I can't add much to that, except to say that I wish more Christians were thinking/acting this way. Very good.
