The Social Communications and Theology Project

Paul Soukup SJ is on the steering committee for the Social Communications and Theology Project. It looks like its a offshoot of the Cavilletti series in Rome which brings folks together to discuss the intersection of communications and theology. Check out their website to see when upcoming conferences are scheduled.

Communicating Congregational Identity

Lynne M Baab has published a new book, along with articles, related to communications and congregational life. These look like great resources for helping communities consider appropriate ways of bringing media/technology into their ecology.

Communicative Theology

I learned about Communicative Theology from Mary Hess at the 2008 REA conference. Mary Ann Hinsdale and Bradford E. Hinze sponsored a Symposium on "The Gift and Challenge of Intercultural Communication" at Fordham from Feb 28-Mar 1, 2008.
