Uniting Church Bloggers

I took a training session on blogging for Trinity College students yesterday in Brisbane. It was a 2 hour ‘Blogging 101′ course, starting with basics and exploring ways in which blogging can be used to stimulate and guide conversation.

Here’s a list of Uniting Church bloggers we looked at as examples:

What Matters - Stu Cameron’s Podcasts at NewLife Uniting, Robina

Getting There - Paul Walton at Centenary, Brisbane

Greenhouse - Woody Point team

Gospel Notes - Duncan Macleod & Mark Cornford on lectionary

[hold:: this space] - Cheryl Lawrie on Alternative Worship in Victoria

Mountain Masala - Craig Mitchell on recipes, alt worship and faith

Planet Telex - Darren Wright on faith and popular culture

Random Murmurings - Linz Cullen’s random murmurings

Fishers Surfers and Casters - Paul Teusner on blogging and faith

Pumphouse - Rob Hanks on spirituality, music and youth ministry

Lines from a Floating Life - Neil Whitfield in Surrey Hills

Any others you think I should be mentioning?

New Business Cards

I’ve just moved into a new office at work, from the first floor of the Uniting Church Centre, to a room in a converted house I’m sharing with the Youth And Childrens Ministry Unit. In the process a few details have changed on my business card - a good excuse for a new design.

Here’s the drafts for two cards, one for work and one for blogging. What do you think? Should I include the Uniting Church logo? The daffodils are part of the symbolism I use for Vision for Mission - dispersing the seeds of hope in new ground.
