Challenge 2.0 - Church Communication and Social Networking

Web 2.0 is shorthand for the Internet having become a social network that is characterised by user generated content, mash-ups and broad-band multimedia applications. Social networks emerge in this environment and change communication.  The distribution of content can no longer be controled, institutions dissolve into networks. In order to communicate effectively the Good News the Church will need to adapt its communication strategy. This Conference will explore this Challenge and analyse what Web 2.0 means for the Christian Church and for Christian Communications.
