Hi, This is my spouse...

Tony Morgan wrote an intriguing little piece titled "Are we married to the mission or methods"?

"We operate in denominations and congregations, while the rest of the world is open source..."

He has some good things to say about the way in which we communicate and how that reflects our values. This is something that has run across my mind in the student ministry world as of late. We have a good handle on how to communicate to our sr. high crew and the community of parents. Our middle school students still remains an enigma. We reach them but i feel that there is a much more effective and efficient way we could be doing so. That said there is also a caution. It is possible, and as a fallen sinner probable that I start to worship the latest flashiest form of communication/music/media/community site/messaging feature May the method in which we communicate truth never take the place of the truth we are trying to communicate.
