Church in the 7th Dimension

We wrote a bit earlier this week that we'd touch a bit more on the upcoming response to technology that the Body needs to pay attention towards. As we understand things now, tehre are 3.4+ billion people who utilize a mobile phone, and several hundred million who use some from of desktop/laptop computing. Essentially, there is a lot of tech ground to cover if we want to reach "the ends of the earth." So how do we look at this in the context of mobile?

Cynthia Ware (of The Digital Sanctuary and Digital.Leadnet) approached me about writing a piece that speaks towards the church's response to ministry in the 7th area of mass communication - mobile. Here is the output of that line of thinking:
...The new challenge to the church isn't just mastering technology, specifically computing. While there is something very profitable about websites, graphic design, A/V production, and the like, we have always excelled when the technology got us into interpersonal relationships with people. In the latest media dimension - mobile (called the 7th mass media) - the Body has a chance to get back to its roots of getting into the lives of people, while also taking some of the best parts of other media types to the engagement and discipleship process...

What will you/your church or organization's response to those things mobile be in 2008?
