Brian Fisher writes an interesting article “Media, Mission, and Batman” on the state of media culture & the slow rate of engagement by the Church in utilising media for communication & the gospel.
Some notable quotes
That we live in a fast-changing media world is no surprise. That the Church has been painfully slow to communicate in that world is unfortunate to say the least.
Sometime in the last 50 years the Church seems to have lost its media-minded, aggressive edge.
The Church once believed every new form of communication represented a new mission field.
As in history past, the Church needs to be on the front lines of media. The message of the Gospel is timeless and unchanging – it’s only the methods by which we reach our culture that should adapt. But they must do so to communicate the Gospel’s relevance.
