Yesterday, I went to seminar put on buy Andrew Jones. It was part of a conference by the Alliance for Saturation Church Planting. He was discussing how “new media” is used in reaching the 20 something generation in Europe. He wrote a paper to prepare for the time.
I was very encouraged by the time and gettting a new perspective on how this emerging generation views media and their world. The thing I came away with was that I live in a world that demands experts. I want experts and others expect me to be an expert. In this new world there aren’t experts, but the community is the expert. As the community interacts and shares ideas and thoughts in humility then greater learning and ideas are achieved.
Still need to figure out how this will impact my work here, but I realized I can stop trying to the be an expert.
Thanks Andrew!!!
yeah, andrew’s a great guy and quite the missiologist! So how is it working as an american in postmodern europe?
It has been great! Eastern Europe is much more open to Americans than the west. We have been welcomed everywhere that we have gone.
