The Church and the new media

A recently published book by Brandon Vogt “The Church and New Media” is described as  “not Danielle Steele or John Grisham, but this new book by blogger Brandon Vogt is a fascinating and — dare I say it? — provocative piece of work, though in this case “provocative” means “provoking thought.”

In his review Greg Kandra says the book has  a foreword written by Cardinal (and blogger) Sean O’Malley, and an afterword by Archbishop (and blogger) Timothy Dolan. There are chapters by Fr. Robert Barron, Mark Shea, and Lisa Hendey, among others.  The reader gets a vivid and revealing glimpse at how social communication in the church is carried out these days — with everything from Kindle to Facebook to podcasts thrown into the mix.
