That's the main reason many of us started blogging ... to try and share what we've learned for others to glean from. It's also the reason the IT Roundtable took place recently. Tony Dye and I have been kicking around some ideas that will hopefully take off in the near future to create some more resources in the area of church IT ... stay tuned!

future to create some more resources in the area of church IT … stay tuned!

I think every church knows what its priorities are, and it is often not dumping money into technology. Because, of course, the reason churches exist is so we have a cool place to try out new PDA's and dual-core processors right?. ;) <strong>NOT!</strong> My heart, and where God is calling me right now, is in helping the average church understand the benefit of technology. That is not saying technology solves all problems for every church, because it obviously does not. What I believe strongly is that for those churches that are in the right place to take advantage of some technologies, God's Kingdom can benefit greatly. Funding for technology and having the will to use it are certainly different challenges. I have been wondering how to assist those churches on the tipping point of using technology in hugely beneficial ways. Would a conference with the right focus, for the right churches help? Is there a way to leverage the Internet to disseminate how to start using technology in church? This is what my spare processing time is spent on nowadays. ;) Scott,

I think there is a need for smaller Church locations to use tech, but can not afford the services of a larger IT outfit. -Scott I like the idea of helping the no person and one person shops, especially when the ideas are flowing, but you have no place to share or use those ideas.
