Comments on: The Case for Church Communications Part 2: The Call to Communicate http://www.timschraeder.com/2009/08/21/the-case-for-church-communications-part-2-the-call-to-communicate/ thoughts from a church communications guy Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:18:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Tracie http://www.timschraeder.com/2009/08/21/the-case-for-church-communications-part-2-the-call-to-communicate/comment-page-1/#comment-1675 Tracie Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:28:19 +0000 http://www.timschraeder.com/?p=2239#comment-1675 Thanks for bringing clarity! My official title is Publications Team Leader, but I've never felt this title was clear or succinct. I'd often just call myself the graphic designer, but that's an oversimplification. It is both a relief and a pleasure to realize that I am the communications director--if not by title, then definitely by calling! Especially since I often wondered whether there was anyone else in church world like me, with gifts and duties that branch into many blended areas rather than fitting into one distinct box. I enjoyed these two articles. Again, thanks! Thanks for bringing clarity! My official title is Publications Team Leader, but I've never felt this title was clear or succinct.

It's really encouraging to read about your views on communication in the church. God has given me a vision about helping the church to communicate the gospel. In Denmark where I live, most churches haven't put alot of efford into communication yet. As christians we are called to have relationships with our Lord and the people around us. I've seen how important good communication is for healthy relationships, and I believe that there's alot more we can learn about that as churches. The church is about building relationships on many different levels. Healthy and visionary communication can provide a box of tools for this. Currently I'm studying humanistic informatics at Aalborg University. I don't know how my life will unfold or how my vision will grow, but I trust in God to take care of this. I just wanted to thank you for encouraging me in my vision through your blog. - Anders Thanks for a great post, Tim!

Good job! For nearly 100 years, radio and television have been the primary mediums for electronically communicating the gospel. Today, rapidly advancing technologies are making it possible for churches to develop full-service communication platforms, aligned with what God has uniquely equipped and called them to do. With increasing frequency, I'm hearing of Information and Communication Technology professionals from the corporate world entering into church ministry. The portal for these transitions is "church communications." Could it be, that God is reassigning people with the skills, experience and heart for building these platforms to carry out bold Digital Mission initiatives not even imagined yet? On our knees!
