The Church and Mobile Technology in 3-5 Years by Ray Jones
Where will the Church be in relation to the use of mobile and Internet technology in 3 to 5 years?
I see the future of mobile ministers as a mighty movement towards masterful mobile content. Let me share my vision with all of you. Our Pastor walks to his electronic pulpit and addresses the congregation. "Friends, welcome to church today. I trust that you have used our configuration cards found in each pew to synchronize your handhelds for today's sermon. If not, please do so now. Friends, if your brother or sister sitting next to you is unsure about using technology to study and worship today, please allow them to share with you. We are all children of god here today with love in our hearts and sharing in our hands. For those of you unable to attend in person and are viewing today's Podcast, thank you for allowing God into your life." As the sermon begins, all of the handheld devices follow along. When scripture is quoted, the handhelds all turn to that book chapter and verse to allow personal reflection, now and later. The streaming podcast is sent out and immediately translated into the native language, both in word and in sound, of those enjoying the sermon. Thus, the congregation is united in discovering God. All hymns, poems, and music of the day streams into each handheld to relive at will.
