[PDF] ↠ Thy Kingdom Connected: What the Church Can Learn from Facebook, the Internet, and Other Networks (emersion: Emergent Village resources for communities of faith) Author Dwight J. Friesen – Web-info-12.info

Thy Kingdom Connected is a superb reflection on the interconnectedness of creation and our call as followers of Christ to a mission of connection I look forward to re reading and continuing to reflect on its wisdom There a quite a few valuable insights in here, but the subtitle led me to hope for a lot I think that most of the insights credited to network theory come just as readily from thinking about how we were created as social beings who need community. Dwight explains Martin Buber s concepts better than Buber does I seriously wish I d been given this text to read alongside Buber last year. Networks Are Everywhere From Our Roads To Our Relationships, From Our Food Supply To Our Power Grids, Networks Are An Integral Part Of How We Live Similarly, Our Churches, Denominations, And Even The Kingdom Of God Are Networks Knowing How Networks Function And How To Work With Rather Than Against Them Has Enormous Implications For How We Do Ministry.In Thy Kingdom Connected, Dwight J Friesen Brings The Complex Theories Of Networking To Church Leaders In Easy To Understand, Practical Ways Rather Than Bemoaning The Modern Disintegration Of Things Like Authority And Structure, Friesen Inspires Hope For A Connective Vision Of Life With God He Shows Those Involved In Ministry How They Can Maximize Already Existing Connections Between People In Order To Spread The Gospel, Get People Plugged In At Their Churches, And Grow Together As Disciples.
