Thanks Meredith. You are quite the silo-crasher and bridge-builder. I appreciate that about you!

Nope! Not a member of the denomination of the denomination in which my husband was ordained. He's a canon on a bishop's staff so he doesn't have a congregation but does do "supply" almost every Sunday. I have occasionally attended when he presides and preaches. Dan is truly gifted by God in those forms of service.

To make matters more interesting, I'm currently worshipping with a church community that is not part of my denomination. I'm sure none of this comes as a surprise to you, my bro in XC.

Amen, Meredith!

You make an interesting point that I would never have thought of. Perhaps it depends on how strongly connected a person is to their denomination. Personally, I have no idea what denomination any of the people I mentioned in the blog post are a part of (I assume you are a part of the same denomination as the church your husband leads, but even that is just a guess which I haven't spent much time thinking about 🙂

I work ecumenically and see how there are emerging experts within denominations that little, if any, clue of others doing the same/similar work with social media to build church and enhance faith. What do we miss or lose as a result? What would be gain — way beyond tech/social media communications — if we actively sought to bridge those gaps?

Worth remember this part of our Creed: "We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church…" Amen?

Thanks Eric! Great suggestions. Shaun is a great example of someone who is not really a tech/comm guy but has done an exceptional job using blogging and social media to advance his ministry as well as Compassion.

I hear ya.

I forgot Jon Acuff.

Here are some of my personal favs (trying not repeat many who you and others have listed):

Phil Cooke – http://philcooke.com/
Tim Challies – http://www.challies.com/
Shaun Groves – http://shaungroves.com/
Storyline – http://storylineblog.com/

Some of these guys are not all tech/media/communication, but when they do pop a post on it, it's dynamite.

Thanks Justin! Two good suggestions!
