Churches and Technology- Perspective From the Las Vegas Diocese
Whether you are involved in, or want no part of churches, they play a vital role in our society. There’s one in every American town regardless of denomination, protestant or catholic. Their positive impact in our society unfortunately we don’t hear often enough of the good, but society would rather HIGHLIGHT the bad things that happen surrounding them more often than not. You simply don’t hear about the elderly couple that got rescued out of their house by a youth group from a local house of worship after a local tornado hit their house. You don’t hear the numbers of homeless lives that have been saved from death, or given a second chance by a Catholic charity. You don’t hear of the man who was homeless and God restored him and the man is now leading one of the largest homeless ministries in his city. The local church bodies and their houses of worship makes an impact regardless of Catholic or Protestant, Presbyterian or Baptist with incredible ways that society fails to recognize often enough.
This month we’re devoting the entire month to questions, issues, and solutions with technology that many churches are facing today. Churches just like any other institutions, or businesses MUST CHANGE in order to stay relevant, effective AND connect to their audience in the experiences given at their Houses of Worship. Doing so in a way that’s reverent while balancing tradition at the same point in time is often a struggle.
