Marion Danforth, "LIM's Method of Theological Reflection"

Marion Danforth knows the LIM method of theological reflection.  She knows it because she studied it as a student and then facilitated it in a LIMEX learning group in the Diocese of Raleigh, N.C. As a result of her studies in LIM, she pursued a doctorate in adult education at North Carolina State University.  Having received a doctorate, she joined the LIM faculty on campus for a year.  So, she really does know our LIM method of theological reflection as this audio recording of her webinar makes evident.
 

Daniella Zsupan-Jerome, "Proclaiming the Good News in a Digital Age: Exploring Internet-Mediated Communication for Ministry"

This presentation explores the essential question of communicating faith in our present, increasingly digital culture.  Practical resources for media ministry or digital ministry abound, but in exploring Internet-mediated communication for ministry, we face a more fundamental question: What is the theological foundation for engaging in ministry in the digital realm?  How might we articulate a solid theological foundation for ministry that serves us for proclaiming the Good News in a digital age? Dr. Daniella Zsupan-Jerome, professor of Liturgy, Catechesis, and Evangelization, discusses the use of various media in the Christian tradition for communicating faith.
