Dave Bourgeois' new book is primarily written to help Christian ministries understand how to integrate the Internet into their existing work. What's the future for evangelicalismhttp://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/22812010-09-03T15:23:34-05:00
A range of key evangelical leaders and thinkers contribute articles here on the future of evangelicalism.
For instance, Ed Stetzer comments on his own article about Issues Evangelicals Must Face. How denominations are using online evangelism for gospel outreach opportunities.http://internetevangelismday.com/denomination-initiatives.php2010-08-14T08:13:42-05:00
We are highlighting on this page initiatives by a growing range of denominations so that we might recognize and promote what they are doing. (Ministry by interdenominational agencies or mission groups is covered elsewhere in this site.) If you are a member of one of these denominations, we encourage you to get involved in these web evangelism projects and support them. If your denomination is not listed here and is involved in internet evangelism initiatives, please tell us about them. Please note: inclusion of a denomination and its initiatives in this list does not necessarily constitute endorsement. urpose of the annual worldwide Internet Evangelism Daya focus for churcheshttp://internetevangelismday.com/description.php2010-08-08T09:38:41-05:00
In New Testament times, the Roman Road system was strategic in God’s plan. It enabled the spread of the Gospel throughout the then-known world. In the same way, the Internet today is a worldwide network which can facilitate effective Gospel communication. We wish to communicate the outreach potential of the Web to the worldwide church. The site has a twin-track purpose:
* to explain the strategies needed to use the web for evangelism, along with showcase examples, and demonstrate the many ways you could be involved. One surprising fact: you do not need to be technically gifted to do web evangelism!
* to enable you to communicate these truths to others, by providing free downloads: PowerPoint, video clips, drama scripts, handouts, etc. These enable churches and other groups to build a web evangelism focus program into a service or other activities.

Somewhere between cold faith and hot pursuit lies lukewarm spirituality. And in the median between the wide path and the narrow road we find the middle ground of the spiritual walk. It’s something not quite Christian. More like... Christianish. Book review: Understanding Evangelical Media - The Changing Face of Christian Communication, ed. Quentin Schultze, Robert Woodshttp://internetevangelismday.com/bookreviews/understanding-evangelical-media.php2010-08-07T15:18:21-05:00
This is a valuable introduction to a whole range of communication media: radio, tv, movies, print and web, music, theater, gaming, advertising and ethics. Contributors are all experts in their fields, mainly college lecturers (though not one from outside USA, even Canada!). You may know Dr Q’s writing about the Web, including his 1996 Internet for Christians which gave many their introduction to what was then a strange new medium.
