Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Are we still a Church capable of warming hearts? A Church capable of leading people back to Jerusalem? Of bringing them home?" - Pope Francis, Meeting with the Bishops of Brazil, 28 July 2013. Pope Francis, like his predecessors Benedict XVI and John Paul II, is calling for Catholics to embrace the new evangelization. But there has been ongoing confusion about who is responsible, what it really means and what it looks like in practical application. How can we respond to the Holy Father's call, creating evangelization opportunities that help bring people back to the Church? By transforming Catholics into digital missionaries - ready and able to take the joy and warmth of the Gospel online via social media to infrequent, inactive, or ex-Catholics around the corner or across the globe. Consider this: 1. Nearly every "lost" Catholic in the U.S. is most likely connected with at least one engaged Catholic - or is one "retweet" or "like" away from them 2. On the whole, Catholics have not been taught to see social media as a way to live out their faith 3. Motivating parishes to put a priority on evangelization has been a challenge 4. Catholics are more likely to be comfortable as digital missionaries than to participate in other forms of evangelization 5. Parishes can offer "digital missionary training" to parishioners - who would welcome it! In Transforming Parish Communications: Growing the Church Through New Media, you'll discover: How to embrace the Church's vision of evangelization in new media How entire parishes can become hubs of digital evangelization - and how to overcome obstacles Specific strategies for implementation How to create a consistent digital identity online Best practices for parish websites The nuts and bolts of Facebook, Twitter, email, blogging and more Consider this book your entry into an important - and urgent - call to each of us as Catholics. To bring the warmth of the Gospel to the "lost" and bring them back to the Church. Visit the companion site for more ParishGuideToNewMedia.com

Download or read book Evangelism in the Digital Age written by Dan Henrich and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-01-25 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a series of case studies that will help novice and professional alike learn how to use all forms of media in the evangelism process. These case studies come from Africa, Asia and Latin America and most have discussion questions to help the reader grasp the key parts of these examples from radio, television/film, mobile/Internet media. Reviews: Dan Henrich is the leading international media strategist in the world today. He has done a great job of researching powerful stories from around the world and presenting them in the form of case studies that contain missions insights in the form of media ministry. There's a truism in training that "more is caught than taught." The insights in this compilation can be caught by any ministry that is oriented at effectively communicating the gospel. Although it's easy to view these case studies as just praise reports of God's activity, I would recommend this book as a collection of media strategies through which the Holy Spirit worked over stretches of time and can still bear fruit for your ministry, too. The global perspective Dan shares through these 28 case studies will bring cross-fertilization to media strategy planning to accelerate response to the gospel. Mark Snowden, media strategy trainer and author, Truth That Sticks To impact today's culture, we need the right information. Dan Henrich's "Evangelism in the Digital Age" is a outstanding collection of case studies that give us a guidebook to our potential audience. Media works when it connects with people, and this book is a great start. Phil Cooke, filmmaker, media consultant Author: "Jolt! Get the Jump on a World That's Constantly Changing. Dan has done us a great service by compiling these media case studies. They span a wide range of areas - film and video, radio and audio, Internet and mobile technologies - all in the context of missions. He gives the case studies added value by providing discussion questions and lessons learned. An invaluable tool for those involved in media today as it details what others are doing in contexts different from our own and opens our eyes to new possibilities. - Frank Gray, International Program Consultant and leader of the New Media Task Group of FEBC. This book centers on dispatches from the field not dissertations from the classroom. This digital age offers great opportunities for church planting teams. Dan Henrich has drawn together current day projects to help others move beyond interesting theories to real outcomes. - DM, Team Leader, Global Communication Team International Mission Board, SBC As missions around the world venture into the realm of media, a peek into the efforts made by others in similar circumstances is a priceless tool. This collection of real life, firsthand accounts by those who are fighting the battle every day in the trenches is an idea whose time has come. From heartfelt failures to humbling success stories, each case study offers valuable lessons for the reader who is honestly looking for them. We who are in media for the sake of God's Kingdom ignore such a treasure at our own risk... or worse, at the peril of our ministries. John Gowan, Producer and video production trainer Author of "Christians, Let's Make Good Television" HCJB Global in Guatemala

Download or read book New Media New Evangelization written by Angela M. Santana and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church, once a leader in communications, now lags behind the rest of the world in new media participation. This study on the Catholic Church and new media argues that the utilization of new media by the Catholic Church would seriously benefit its catechetical, evangelical, and other communications efforts by providing easy-access, cost-effective, community-building resources to the church members at home or abroad as well as to the rest of the world. As a theological foundation for discussion, the author provides an overview of Church teaching on evangelization, media, and new media. Insights into the benefits of new media are then demonstrated using secular marketing, Protestant, and Catholic sources. Four case stories of different individuals and groups within the Church who utilize new media follow the literature review. After reiterating the truth of its thesis, this study recommends that the Church produce a theologically-infused, methodological approach to new media use and that it encourage dioceses to offer resources toward strategic media use for their members.

Download or read book From Twitter to Tahrir Square written by Bala A. Musa and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 741 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely guide examines the influence of social media in private, public, and professional settings, particularly the ethical implications of the cultural changes and trends created by their use. In the quest for quick dissemination of information, web users and content providers find both opportunity and liability in digital broadcasts. Examples abound: Twitter members tap into news reports well in advance of traditional print media, but stories are prone to inaccuracies and misinformation; Facebook shares useful data mined from member profiles, but this sharing often compromises privacy. It is no surprise that use of social media gives rise to a host of moral dilemmas never before encountered. This book sheds light on the effects of this new medium on the individual and society. Through two volumes chock full of topics found in news headlines everyday, the authors look at evolving trends in social media and their impact on privacy, politics, and journalism. The first volume explores the role of this technology on national and international security. Volume 2 focuses on the individual as both a producer and consumer of internet content, showing how the media itself is changing notions of self-identity, relationships, and popular culture. The book's content covers such topics as individual and community psychology, citizen journalism, and corporate technology.
