Church supports blogs!!
I have talked before about how EL 3517 has made me aware of the technological and social media advances all around us and the outcomes that those advances are developing. Well once again, this rings true. As I was reading the ELCA SW MN Synod Newsletter for June 29, 2010 - I came across this very interesting article about blogging, so I thought I would share. Enjoy :)

Oh, this is the same article Mary sent us. It is such an intriguing piece, and how interesting that the SW MN Synod linked to it! Skimming through it again, this is what struck me: "Blogs are a perfect medium to tell stories about what faith looks like in practice," and "blogs provide the opportunity to discuss current events in the wider culture and their connection to faith." These are both such perfect opportunities for ministry, and these quotes got me thinking...what if our preaching looked more like this, at least sometimes? What if our sermons sounded like blog posts, reflecting on what's going on in the community (however we choose to define that at any given time) and how those events fit in with the biblical texts? It sounds like solid preaching to me! So maybe our blogging can inspire creativity in the pulpit as well.
