Churches (including EC) tap into technology

The Rev. Tom Long, chaplain at the Ecumenical Center, is one of a growing number of ministers using computer technology to stay connected with young people and young adults, according to the Appleton Post-Crescent. “It’s very much about relationships and keeping relationships with them,” he said. “And technology really helps me do that in a very good way. Especially Facebook helps me find people who are off in college that I may have lost track of for a bit. And my main way of inviting people to groups and events … is through Facebook invitation.” Younger priests also put homilies on podcasts so others can access them. http://www.postcrescent.com
