Churches, websites and outreach - audio podcast talk: A Church's Mindset for Outreach
Church websites have huge potential. The Internet Toolbox for Churches offers a regular podcast with vital information on this area. Some podcasts are rather self-indulgent chats with a lot of padding around the content. This one isn't. It is 28 minutes of sheer clarity and practical guidance by David Hakes, so good you'd pay to go to a conference to hear it as a seminar.

Mobile phones: sharing Christian video clips on an Indian street: true story
Mobile phones offer many opportunities. Moses, in AP State, India, has made a photo diary (maybe partly posed) of a chance encounter he was able to use by sharing video clips by Bluetooth with a taxi driver.

Downton Abbey and the value of storytelling in Christian ministry
Downton Abbey – what will happen next? How ever can we wait so long to find out? Why do we care?

Win Christian books in Internet Evangelism Day's November competition
Turns out I've been writing the Web Evangelism Bulletin (W.E.B.) for nearly 14 years, and this month sees the 200th issue. To give thanks to the Lord and to bless the readers of the Bulletin or DEI blog, you can win book prizes and other resources during November – 22 are available. Grateful thanks to the publishers and writers for giving them. The prizes relate directly to a richer understanding of the good news, or ways to communicate it (both offline and online) in the 21st century

Not recognizing our talent in Christian ministry
While it is scarily true that we don't often recognize our own faults, and "we judge ourselves by our intentions, and others by their actions", it can also happen that we may not recognize our own talents either.

Amazing self-learning computer experiment with Indian children
Professor Sugata Mitra is the Indian academic who allowed poor Indian children to work out computers for themselves. But here's the challenge. For those kids who will have a web connection through these cheap tablets (or any other route), where will they find evangelistic material that is contextualized for their own culture, language and religion, and assumes they have zero Christian knowledge?

Build effective church websites that reach the community
Without a website, a church is effectively invisible. With a website, you potentially create a shop window for the community to peer through. What is on display, especially 'near the glass', is very important.

Dad's Army, Captain Mainwaring and why we love the characters
The flags are surely at half-mast in Walmington-on-Sea, the quintessentially-English south-coast town of Dad's Army. Farewell to its co-creator David Croft, who has just died. But what can we learn about effective writing from this show?
