The Electronic Gospel: Why Changing the Methods Always Changes the Message
Thursday, February 12, 2009, 8:30am-10:00am, Golden Ballroom
We live in a media-drenched culture.  The options for ministry innovation have never been so pressing or prevalent —from podcasting and projection screens to video venues and virtual community.  In our race for relevance, however, we have missed the subtle power of our technologies to shape our minds and God's message.  We have failed to ask the most important question.  Are technology and media merely neutral tools?  How do our technologies change the way we think about scripture, truth, and even the gospel? This seminar unveils the hidden power of electronic culture, the ways it shapes our life of faith, and how we can respond.

Our Nomadic Life: Undoing the Incarnation Using Nothing But Your Cell Phone
Friday, February 13, 2009, 8:30am-10:00am, Pacific Salon 2
The church is undergoing radical changes under the force of electronic culture.  Community is fragmenting, and strange cultural paradoxes are emerging.  We live as a “tribe of individuals" thrown together and torn apart at the same time.  Most of us are asleep to this phenomenon, but it's power is stunning.  We experience life as electronic nomads—physically in one place but electronically elsewhere. How do we form community in such a context? How do we be the body of Christ without a body?  How do we decide what technologies to use and which ones simply use us?  Join us as we explore what our digital diet does and undoes to our faith.
