Even that might go too far if we put in ordinate amount of emphasis on teaching, but a decent idea nonetheless. I'm all for using technology to help the actual members of a community stay connected, but not when it begins to cross into a line of an artificial sort of connection.

My thoughts, is there a way to use the “Video Venue” type medium as a way of helping members of our family/community feel connected when they have to be away from our Sunday morning gathering. I am mostly referring to, for example at least five members of the Living Hope community that are pilots and must be out of town, sometimes for more than one week at a time. I know that with my biological family we use the video mediums to “connect with one another” and close in the gap of the miles that physically separate us. I believe that a low-tech approach could serve this purpose. For example just a live video simulcast using something like sight speed. This would require an account to access it and when it is over it is over. I am actually thinking about trying this with small group as one of the members of our community is out of town this week. I would be interested in your thoughts on this. Thanks for sharing this information JR, great points Bob, Shane and you make.
