Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. phil42:2-4

James. The link on your comment about "Can Twitter Kill Your Church" keeps sending me to Home Depot.

Her is an article called, "Can Twitter Kill Your Church?" sent to me by Mike Eppinette.

Linda, my blog, www.jamesnored.blogspot.com, deals a lot with culture, news, and politics, looked at through a Christian lens. So it is less overtly "churchy" in its feel and language most of the time. So it is a little bit of a bridge, but not fully. I would say that those who are searching or disillusioned with the church find it helpful, though it also has a Christian audience.

What suggestions do you have for a bridge blog?

This was over 10 years. James, forgive my ignorance, but do you have a blog that is not "centered" on Christian topics, but is rather used as a "bridge" to people interested in another topic?

Very interesting, Linda. 100,000 emails--wow. I thought I had a lot!

BRIDGE STRATEGY SITES

DOUGLAS YEO - 10 YEARS OF ONLINE MINISTRY

Douglas Yeo was an early pioneer of 'bridge strategy' sites. Starting ten years ago, with the assistance of Campus Crusade's new web team, he created a site built around his professional interest and gifting - classical bass trombone. He wished to give support and encouragement to music students and others considering an orchestral career - but all expressed through his own Christian worldview. Over the ten years, he has replied personally to 100,000 emails. This is on top of his professional engagements and family commitments! He writes:


"My website celebrated its 10th birthday on February 12 and in celebration of that milestone, I have added a new page to my website which details the history of my site, how and why it was launched and the people behind it."

So...how do we go about sharing ideas and discussing possibilities?

Comment by James Nored on February 11, 2009 at 4:11pm

Linda, you are right. We need both types--idea and tech people. That is why we have a diversity of people in this group, to try to bridge this gap.

Ideas for using the internet for collaborative learning and outreach are abundant. The skills necessary to put these ideas into place totally escape me. Is there a way to connect idea people with those skilled in internet communication?
