The meaning of community, dialogue for common understanding (versus debate), and communication in general may be fundamentally and forevering changing due to social media, a good example is "Confessions of a Carioca". Social Media is egalitarian and broadens one's reach exponentially. If you haven't already, the use of this vehicle to supplement traditional communications may be something for your non-movement movement to consider. When used appropriately social media is not a community of 100 with 1 mic but can be thousands/millions with individual mics. <br />Rod MatthewsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34346296.post-27061862982609134202012-03-19T03:04:48.976-04:002012-03-19T03:04:48.976-04:00I'll be interested to hear about what kinds of...I'll be interested to hear about what kinds of measures were considered. I and a bunch of other people (it's not a movement with a central office or officers, so I don't even know who all is leading efforts to hold conversations) are in the midst of putting together "unconferences" and other similar gatherings to address these questions, with the idea that we'll learn a lot more about organizing and making decisions in 21-st century movements if we don't do it strictly in the echo chamber of gatherings of people already deeply entrenched in our current structures. Some bishops have expressed interest in joining such meetings, but one can be quite confident that the format will NOT be a single mic from which a single voice is most prominent!Sarah Dylan Breuerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967940748645707621noreply@blogger.com
