I would love for everyone in our church to be subscribed to a twitter or mass texting thing to easily communicate spiritual truths to them. Again, for the most part this is the church just being 5 or 6 steps behind what is truly relevant in modern culture. i’ve noticed a trend at youth oriented conventions/gatherings (CIY Move, PCTC, NYWC) to include personal electronic devices (cells, blackberries, so on) and seen how it 1) helps and 2) enriches the overall experience.

I still hear people poo-poo the validity of communicating through electronic media (as not being a "real relationship"), and I think they're missing out on real ways to connect and impact lives.
