New Church and Social Media Blog Sets Sail!

Introducing #chsocm!

I'm really, really interested in promoting the use of social media by church and clergy for ministry and connection.  Both by using it and by helping others understand why it's valuable and how to use it.

And so occasionally, I venture into the realm of social media and the church here at The Party.   And while I think that's good - I'm all about gathering and welcoming and communicating and interacting - I also know that this blog is mainly about prayer and reflection.  And I don't want to change that.

And so, my good friend Meredith Gould (Roman Catholic lay minister, author, and marketing communications pro) and I (Episcopal clergy person) have started a new blog together, in our two separate and - let us hope - complementary voices, that will be the place where I post about church and social media stuff.  Because, you know, it's a blog about church and social media.

So visit us early and often at the #chsocm blog, and follow @chsocm on Twitter to be part of that conversation if you're interested.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming here at The Party.

I'm also very interested in social media and have written a blog to encourage Churches to engage with it: http://tithebarnabergavenny.blogspot.com/2011/07/church-and-social-media.html
I think it's about time that church should involved in social media. They can spread the word of the God through there own websites.

Started this today at 630 am and finished around 745 pm. I really enjoyed this book. I re-read Unworthy last week in preparation for Children Of The Storm. I gave this an OUTSTANDING. By far the best trek book I have read of late. The characters were developed great including Seven. I chuckled when I read her playing Hide And Seek. My 2 daughters and I play that all the time.

Lets hope that the next book is in the near future. I was never a fan of Voyager books but the re-launch books have got me hooked.
