Any ideas
Sure, I'd love to talk about some of that stuff. Any suggestions on where to look for it?

Please Do
If you don't plan to build your virtual prayer room it might be good to put your idea out there. It may inspire someone else.

Interesting discussion
This could lead to an interesting discussion. An idea I have pondered is a kind of technology coop between churches in an area. Our church spends a lot of money to rent equipment several times per year. I wish we could buy a share of that equipment then share it with the churches that join in. Some of the equipment that would be good candidates would be a scissor lift, portable sound system, high quality mics (often needed for special productions)...

Share and share alike
Good idea kswan. This in the same (although significantly less techy) vein was a discussion I had while I was on staff at church. We would create large and fairly elaborate banners (usually out of fabric) to be hung in the sanctuary which illustrated the current sermon series. They would stay on display for 8-12 weeks and then get stored away...forever. If these could be donated/traded/sold to other ministries it would free up much needed storage space and allow the significant time and expense required to create them to continue to yield rewards. It would not be difficult to create a Drupal site which facilitated the sharing of these ministry materials. -NP

Internet Collaboration?
Anyone have thoughts on how pastors, church leaders, along with tech leaders could leverage the Internet to help them do and live ministry better?

Hey guys, I wanted to throw some suggestions your way.
I would love to hear about things that the "larger" body of Christ is doing with technology to collaborate.
I love to see Christians innovate. Especially when it takes the message of the Christ's love and the Gospel to the world around them.
A few years ago, I coined the term "techumenical movement" (a play on ecumenical), to refer to the laying aside of some controversial debates with the goal of creating useful and beneficial technology tools for the body of Christ that are independent of doctrinal squabbles.
I would love to see you explore this idea in a future episode.
Here are some ideas I would like to see explored:
Keep up the great work!
