Mobile (Services) to Encourage the Soul?
In contrast to yesterday's post, here a bit about a church using a moblie service to encourage the soul (from Trendhunter via Textually):
An Anglican Parish Church has joined with voice-to-text company SpinVox to change the way they reach their community: by delivering sermons directly to parishioners' email inboxes, live.
The world's first voice-to-text Sunday service will take place Sunday November, 30th the first Advent. It will be given by the Reverend John Kronenberg, Vicar of Hinchley Wood, Esher, Surrey, at St Christopher’s Church.
As he delivers his sermon to the congregation seated in the Church, his words will be automatically converted by SpinVox and sent directly to subscribers' inboxes, in a matter of moments. 100 members of St Christopher's church will receive the sermon this Sunday...

A bit of a side note about this post. This Sunday, my pastor showed me that he recently purchased an iPod Touch 8GB. He showed me his amazement about how he could do so much from that little screen; from podcasts, to browsing, to checking email. Being that we are a church that uses web services to do a lot of admin work, this is nearly a perfect solution for him. I mentioned to him that it would be a perfect delivery mechanism for his sermons. He looked at me as if I went a bit too far. Just a note to me that not everything can be done at once. But change is comin' ;)
