From Podcasting to Godcasting

The BBC ran an interesting story yesterday about the vicar who is starting to podcast his sermons.The Rev Leonard Payne, Vicar of St Nicholas’ Church in Wrentham, Suffolk (UK), decided to post his sermons on to Apple’s iTunes Store and was amazed to find that in a short period of time 2,000 people had downloaded them. The initial idea was that people who could not attend sermons, could download them from their own homes. According to diocesan communications director, Nick Clarke:

“This is another example of how the church is embracing technology to keep its message relevant for a 21st Century audience. It’s about doing church differently for a diverse and obviously hungry audience.”
