Visual Worship Conversations Pt. 2
Here's another clip from my video chat with Camron Ware and Stephen Proctor. About half way through our conversation they pulled out this old book published in 1949. The book is basically a media ministry handbook of back in the day. Take a listen to some of the great points the book makes:

And we all thought media ministry in churches was a thing pioneered in the 1990s. Little did we know 40 years earlier somebody was already laying the ground work. So why isn't what this book talks about common knowledge and practice for churches? Why do we still have churches that don't have a solid understanding of why they should be using media, a solid answer to their "Why?" question. Maybe this book scared people away from harnessing the power of media because it is so cautionary (a problem I see a lot in mainline churches - sure you can use media but be careful...as if media ministry is an evil plague that could destroy your congregation if used incorrectly).
Thanks for reading. Come back tomorrow for another great blog post by Richard Webb.

Wow, Tom. That was very poignant.
Some of your thoughts remind me of that movie "Pay It Forward". I also think about local church models: large vs. small. Typically, the larger church attempts to make a big splash and impact many at once. This is u…
I think it is much easier to pray for or want peace on a global or macro level and much harder to look into the mirror and pray and ask for peace in our own hearts. When we find peace with God we become a beacon of peace to our children, wife, husba…
I was sitting at my table, eating my breakfast cereal and minding my own business when WHAM! An overwhelming peace came over me.
I don't think it was from God - it wasn't that good - and yet the calm that I experienced was tangible. And, the usual…
Traditionally we had the sermon as central. Singing and scripture was around that with singing a very important part. Now I am not sure- performance?? We had many praise bands, and many different songs that get played. Do we sing. Not really. Not su…
In New Zealand Advent comes as Summer is full tilt. I don't find it stressful. I love it! I have so many wonderful memories of Advent Moments that its hard to know what to share.

In 2000, I experienced the loss of my fiance, who died suddenly that April. As preparations began for Christmas, I was not very joyful and was at a loss for how to deal with my grief while others were celebrating. I attended a workshop at our local…
