To Be or Not to Be (Online)

Published by Rick Meigs on January 28th, 2009 in Blogging.

It all started with Dan Kimball asking a “Question About Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and Mission.” He raises an important issue when he queries, “So do the hours we can spend on blogs, twitter, Facebook and even reading about missional things on blogs take away too much from the time that we could actually be on mission and spending with people in real life?” Dan has a way of getting the blogosphere buzzing doesn’t he.

The discussion was then picked up at Missional Tribe with Raffi’s post “Dan Kimball’s Question to Missional Tribe.” You will find some thoughtful and helpful comments including one from Dan. Go over and join in. It is a discussion worth having.

Ben Wheatley also steps in with “A Church for Nerds.” A good post where he defends the Nerd.

Finally, Grace has a few words on the subject here.

    The answer is “absolutely.”

    One thing I notice, following Twittering pastors, is how few of them appear to be “on site” doing community service or anything.

    Maybe they’re just not Twittering that. But maybe they’re not doing it.

    Hard to say Jared. It would be an encouragement if they did tweet will doing.

    Meh. I meet heaps of non-Christians through blogging.
