Ministry and Mission in a Media World

Media technologies and media communication are transforming western culture, and the rate of change continues to be dizzying. They pervade every aspect of life; the world has become ‘mediatized’. This presents huge challenges and opportunities for both discipling Christians and for reaching those who are not Christians. How can we navigate the many diverse perspectives demanding our attention within both mainstream and social media, and stand firm in our faith in Jesus Christ? How can we bear witness to Jesus in a mediatized world so that others may see the plausibility, relevance, and truth of that message? This session steps back to take a broad look at the implications of being a missional church in a mediatized world and explores how we might wisely and faithfully interact with the culture.
