Many of them are featured regularly here on the blog, in my book, in the classes I teach, etc. The point remains, I think, that the ratio is WAY off, with very few resources in the church as a whole that are working directly at the intersection of new media and theology, as compared to other modes of academic and theological inquiry.Clint Schneklothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707900080657719369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-55170446229232121032017-04-30T19:55:32.755-05:002017-04-30T19:55:32.755-05:00I also would point to THEOCOM, which happens every...I also would point to THEOCOM, which happens every year out in California (http://cscc.scu.edu/theocom17/about.html), and the many, many such events happening beyond the USMary Hesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954022665480649924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-68061434316180798002017-04-30T19:49:51.762-05:002017-04-30T19:49:51.762-05:00Can I say amen?

It just may be that we are writing in new media, and working with local pastors, both of which tend not to get the kind of recognition you might be looking for. This year I'm up at the University of St. Michael's College, in the University of Toronto, which was Marshall McLuhan's home college. It's been a joy to immerse myself in the Canadian pastoral leadership context.Mary Hesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954022665480649924noreply@blogger.com
