Diaconate of Christian Technologists

Welcome To our Community

Welcome to the Diaconate. We want to hear from you. Ask a question. Share your thoughts. Get smarter and help others.

The effective deployment and use of technology to promote and facilitate the mission of the church is an area often pointed to as a critical enabler to making the church more relevant. The caveat is that "it should be done well" - technology is a notoriously fickle medium that presents anything less than adequate as a fraud. Doing technology "well" requires a commitment to a degree of funding, professionalism and skillsets that are often beyond the reach of the mainstream church.

What the church does have, however is a body of people dedicated to making a difference.

This community is dedicated to the cadre of volunteers who turn up on Sundays (and spend lots of other time) to run and maintain sound systems, projectors, computers, telephone systems, streaming, video-conferencing and the myriad other pieces that make up the ICT infrastructure so that the mission of the christian church is facilitated and supported.

We hope that this platform will lead to opportunities for networking (people, not computers), provision of education opportunities, common repositories of resources and many other opportunities for making technology use better.

So, join the diaconate, tell us what you have been doing, ask us about what you have been having problems with and come with us on the journey to the future.
