Getting Your Church Wired

A Digital Church
Introducing our fall project: 
Getting Your Church Wired: A helpful guide to social media, online ethics and your congregation


The internet has given our churches new tools to use for evangelism, yet many churches don't know about these tools or fear them. The Faith Formation Team will guide you through the ethical use of these tools, what tools are helpful (and which aren't), and how to create opportunities for connection throughout the week (not just Sunday morning).

If you’re looking for resources, helpful tips, or even how to ethically use the internet then this series is for you. You can send any questions, comments, or requests for topics you want covered to Luke Lindon, lukeATsylvaniauccDOTorg. 

Why did we spell out Luke's email like that? Well, here's your first tip: to avoid spammers who search the internet for email links! Luke doesn't want to be notified of the lottery he has won in Gambia, his long-lost royal relative's inheritance, or his Russian bride. He does want your requests for topics, issues, and questions. So please, send away!

Thanks!

  1. Another solution to the SPAM problem is to use a robust program such as Gmail which has the industries best SPAM blocker. Then you don't have to use Greek as your E-mail address. If you want you can port your incoming mail through Gmail into other programs such as IE Outlook or Thunder bird. William

  2. Thanks William! I have Outlook yet lots of stuff regularly appears in my inbox thanks to those roving bots trolling for email addies so they can scam peeps. I seem to be particularly popular around the Ivory Coast!
