Church and Print

There’s a great post over at “Established and Emerging” which speaks about the link between the timing of the Protestant Reformation (?) and the deeply established culture of print and literature in churches. So much of the emphasis in church is on reading – reading the bible, reading books, and while some of that comes out of neccessity (the Bible is the word of God and it’s definitely a book), there’s no doubt that some of that just comes out of a church culture that has to a certain degree got stuck in a previous era. Meanwhile culture continues to evolve and these days so much of communication is about imagery and tv and stuff. Bit of a thinker.
