Of course the internet also allows easier access to the pastor. Sure, that enables criticism but it also enables praise and positive feedback. The internet is just the channel for what people were saying anyway. I think there is possibly one additional avenue to explore and that's what happens with something like a youtube and church. Is there scope to start to introduce member-generated content? Can we start having personal video testimonies and podcasts posted? The ability of people to communicate has multiplied so surely that could also be a positive change? I recognise you were posting on denominations rather than church as a whole. The Internet enables to have much more cross-denominational chat than would have been possible historically. Isn't that a good thing also? Brilliant post, I think you got this totally right.
