Can't wait to read your article! Keep in mind that some people are better multi-taskers than others. I oftentimes watch my favorite "thinker" TV shows such as LOST, 24 and PrisonBreak while playing around on the interwebs. I don't miss a thing on either my TV screen or my computer screen. It's sort of a generational thing I think…

It's only 140 words. It wouldn't take you more than 1 minute to conceptualize and comment on the sermon. Just not worshiping, when you are in full focus on God.

just had another conversation with Sharon(wife) we both have an issue with twittering in that you'd have to be very focused on the sermon to twitter. kind of like trying to read a book and watch tv. i don't think that everyone should be doing it. i'm going to write an article on it soon.

My position in my church forces me to be up in our sound booth away from the congregation. This allows me to tweet and take notes from my iPod Touch without worrying what the people around me think. In my church… I feel that if I broke out my iTouch in the midst of the congregation that I'd get some stares. It's too bad… because I may be the only person really taking notes!!!

Ugh…I've been questioned by my pastor and one of the radio-execs about twittering in church. My wife and I had a conversation about this when it came out. At the moment it seems that live-blogging would make more sense to us than twittering.

I still feel awkward and somewhat disrespectful if I tweet in church. I feel like I should be paying attention to the service, not my phone. But if the church can leverage this for good, then good! I might have to try it once or twice to see.

this is a very cool concept, I tried doing this myself at church; two Sundays ago and it was great.
Not only do I get to tell everyone how cool everything is going from setup to set down, I get to share the Word and the message.

Using a phone is not easy though, and last Sunday Twitter would not let me sign in, grrrr.

Maybe people should he identified and given a better interface than a phone to twitter on; the official twitter person.
The only draw back of this is that a single person has a different and smaller reach than a number of people.

I tweeted this a few days ago, saw it on numerous blogs, and now I see it here. A bit popular of an article I think,

It has been awesome to see how church leaders have been early adopters of so many new technologies (kind of goes against everything people assume about the church) and all the creative ministry uses.
