Online religion at Easter interview

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Radio interview on Radio NZ National on online religion at Easter went pretty much okay – apart from a glitch at the end when I ended up headphone problems that threw me a bit. Sorted it out by taking them off after about 10-20 seconds of confusion. All part of the learning experience.

You can catch the audio in it’s default format from Radio New Zealand National : Programmes A-Z : Easter Monday

Podcast link is: http://www.radionz.co.nz/podcasts/easter.rss

Spreading the word in cyberspace?

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

A brief op-ed piece by me appeared in the NZ Herald yesterday. The formatting changed a little, and the odd word or two got cut, but on the whole it’s out there to start discussion. See Spreading the word in cyberspace.

(BTW – I didn’t pick the title)

Online Religion and the New Connectivity

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

The article The Alban Institute – The New Connectivity: How Internet Innovations Are Changing the Way We Do Church by Andrea Useem makes some interesting points about digital technologies and religious community. Resonates with me this weekend as I’m speaking tomorrow evening at church on technology as the environment we inhabit, and also because I attended a Web 3D and Virtual Worlds symposium at work yesterday.

Also PBS carried a feature on online religion today too. See Episode no. 1212. Online Religion | PBS Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly

Both the Alban Institute and the PBS pieces engage with Heidi Campbell’s work.
