The Language of God
The United Church of Christ, ecumencial partners to the Disciples (my denomination) have decided to forgo traditional media outlets, which don't like their add. They have decided to go viral with social media. As I watched the brief message that uses mostly images and music, I felt that it could speak for us as well. I welcome your thoughts and impressions.

It's about inclusion. How could their be a "target" audience. Aren't we all targets (part of God's language).
Reminds me of some of my favorite lyrics-
If you smile at me, I will understand 'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
in the same language.

I think this is something that Disciples could relate to, Bob...and that we should probably be doing more of this ourselves. I did three 30-second videos for my little church here in Asheville; they're not at all as polished as this, but there's a similar montage. If you'd like to see them, visit sojournerchurch.org and either click through to different pages to see each of them, or click the YouTube link. I'd be interested in your thoughts.

I'm interested in the beer and the species of the little "yearning?" plant in the video and front page.
I think something like this, done virally, would work for the DOC as well!
Good thoughts.
Oh, that plant isn't what I thought it was- wishful thinking I guess.
