I only wish that more leaders were aware of the existence and benefits of such ministry capabilities. I'm attending a workshop tomorrow at Engage Conference at Prestonwood Baptist in Plano - the breakout session is all about new/open media and ministry and I'll share some stuff I learn when it's all said and done. I'm grateful for sites like ChurchCrunch that are expanding the awareness. Whatever you call it, open source really seems to line up with the personality of the church as a missional force today.

The problem is that we need both a strong inner individual connection and the community of faith. The "both and" is needed, in my opinion.
