Using technology in ministry
"If I were teaching preaching in a seminary, I would encourage all the ministerial students to do two things each week. First, write out a complete manuscript of your Sunday morning message. Second, post it on the Internet....As a side note, I also encourage young men in the ministry to use technology to their own advantage. That's why I started writing a daily weblog several years. Every pastor understands that time is precious and the demands of the ministry never really end. In a growing church, especially in a larger city, it is physically impossible for the pastor to have a personal relationship with all his people. I discovered that by writing a daily weblog, I could share my life with hundreds and even thousands of people every day. I could talk about upcoming events at the church, offer links to useful articles, write commentaries on events in the news, send greetings to people in many places, and I could open a window into my own life and the life of my family. I found that people felt close to me by reading the weblog. It let them know what I was thinking and doing, thus strengthening the bond between us."Dr. Ray Pritchard - Read Sermons & Articles - Keep Believing Ministries - Keepbelieving.com:

I appreciate the quotation and the link to my original message. I have since discovered that the Boston Globe says that blogging can be good for your career. That's another reason why pastors ought to be bloggers.
