I've received great feedback on the first United Church of Christ digital outreach case study.

Published October 16, 2008 @ 06:12AM PT

Two days back, I wrote and published the preamble to a three-piece case study about the youth-directed interactive online approach of the United Church of Christ over at NetSquared. I was fortunate to receive great commentary in the comments section, on Facebook, and in my email box. The feedback was from folks young and old, and I look forward to integrating the commentary into the upcoming posts.

Thus far, my favorite piece of feedback, which regards the role of past advancements in communication technologies and the church, was this one from Lincoln Paine (posted in the comments section of the piece):

"New technology is neither anathema nor inimical to the church. After all, the first book published with moveable type was Gutenberg's Bible ... to say nothing of televangelism."
