One Day Conference: How Tech Shapes Faith (Feb 8th)
Dallas Theological Seminary’s Center for Christian Leadership is hosting Shane Hipps, author of Flickering Pixels (my review), for a one day conference in Dallas called The Electronic Gospel: How Technology Shapes Our Faith on February 8th, 2010… John Dyer will lead one on controlling technology in our daily lives, Scott McClellan of Collide Magazine will lead a session on social media, and Bill Buchanan of Irving Bible Church will lead one on technology in the worship service.
This looks like a great conference. Don’t see MMM going as there’s a scheduling conflict (and poor planning on my part), but we will try and get some coverage of it from various vantage points.
