New technologies come in; some fly more than others; one adopts either early, with the masses (a bubble) or slightly late but still with enough time to make something of them - bearing in mind that that's Internet time now. <br />A fear of "anarchy, revolution, criticism" may be present but is misplaced. Those three are vectors of change; one's organisation's genes may or may not survive generations, but a failure to interact at all with the environment guarantees only one outcome. So if I were you I'd be quite blunt in asking those who might use "no time" pejoratively how they expect any church to survive when it seeks to offer no relevance to the current generation[0].<br /><br />It's been interesting watching from the sidelines of social channels. Particularly, watching both the official "got-it-together" centralised CoS GA tweets, compared to the Pisky community-sourced/stifled approach. Both methods have their pros & cons, of course - I'm sure it should make for good discussion in the I&C Board. I wondered why mostly only one tweep appeared in my search column, and then I wondered what funny incense was being smoked to have put the dampers on tweeting, and for why; and I was glad of that which *had* made it beyond the social firewall, but think there could use being much greater coverage next year.<br /><br />[0] This rationale features highly in my recent decision to cease attempting to attend a particular church despite their lovely welcoming personalities. A hard line, possibly sad, but true.Timhttp://www.shinyphoto.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-46296562677479250762011-06-17T18:20:16.437+01:002011-06-17T18:20:16.437+01:00The someone was your new bishop.
