YouTube video on technology and change




Here is what the Moderator of the General Assembly said about this video in a recent blog post:

One of the interesting things to come up during the GAC meeting was during one of our "generative" discussions where GAC Vice-Chair, Michal Kruse, had us watch this video [below as well] about the nature of technological change.  After we watched it we had some discussions about the world today and how we as the church and individuals respond to those changes.  As I shared with folks, the broad spectrum of reactions in our meeting to the very nature of technology and community was illustrative of the church in the world today.  I think that defining what is "personal contact," what is healthy and positive and to what extent technology is integrated and embraced in many ways will determine the movement of the church at this level.  This time in our meeting gave me the most food for thought - both sweet and sour to my palette - and will undoubtedly surface in future blog postings.
