Church 2.0?

Thanks to Clif at The Appian Way for this post and Seth at Seth Godin's Blog for this post for alerting me to the following video clip.

The following video clip was created by Michael Wesch an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology in the Anthropology Program at Kansas State University.

I found this video to be a fascinating look at the internet that has application to the church. These two thoughts from the video particularly made me think:

• Digital text can do better. Form and content can be separated.

• They describe the contents, not the form. So the data can be exported, free of formating constraints.

I think that the church can do better than it currently is in presenting the gospel in ways that make disciples of Jesus Christ. The form and the content can be separated. The good news of Jesus Christ is the contents, not the form. The gospel can and should be free to be shared without constraints of a particular form of worship or community. Re-imagining what it means to be the church is an important part of the emerging movement.
