I found the presentation on the Internet interresting and informative.
I do not agree that for all people this is "the newest and the best" way of reaching people, but it certainly does appeal to a huge group of people.
When we came to the section on reviewing the various churches, i was reminded of the coverage in the Minneapolis Star and Tribune's Religion section. Each Saturday there is a review of a church which was visited by a reporter from the Faith Section of the newspaper. This reporter simply "drops in" on a church each weekj, and then a review is printed in the paper for all the world to see. There is no planning in advance to "look good" or to do things in hospitality to appeal to the reporter. I find that this is a much more honest evaluation of the church as it really is to the public. The presentation on AIDS
again highlighted the importance of this public and church health issue to all of us.
