Day Four, Dr Karen O’Donnell is here to talk to us about digital theology, and will be looking at the Eucharist. Where are our bodies in digital spaces? There’s a sense in which when we go online our bodies don’t go with us. Therefore we can feel like the digital world isn’t real. This can […]

#MediaLit17 Chronicles 12: Multimedia Liturgical Worship
#MediaLit17 Chronicles 12: Multimedia Liturgical Worship Yesterday evening we worshipped in the hall, but it had been set up differently with stations and dim lights. On the wall there were two ‘screens’ which played the majority of the media content. There was a table, with cup and bread and covered in blue fairy lights. Around […]
#MediaLit17 Chronicles 11: Multimedia Liturgy
Anna Drew’s session was invigorating and good fun! Now we move to another Anna, the articulate Anna Norman-Walker with Fr Simon Randall to explore the concept of Multimedia Liturgy. Anna’s background comes out of a ministry at Exeter Cathedral. Exeter Cathedral Anna’s brief was to do education and outreach based from the Cathedral. The cathedral […]
#MediaLit17 Chronicles 10: Interviewing Theory
Today we kick off with a morning of sessions on being interviewed, either radio or television; presented by Canterbury Diocese’s Director of Communications — Anna Drew. The morning starts with a look at the theory and then later we will give it a go ourselves. The first example was the Lord Pearson interview where it ended: The […]
#MediaLit17 Chronicles 9: An Evening with Jim and Kate
Our evening’s fun and games tonight takes the form of an informal interview/conversation between Jim and Kate. We’re all sat with a pint or a glass of wine and enjoying some snacks and nibbles while the conversation drifts mainly around chaplaincy at Guy’s Campus, King’s College and, later, the role and place of humour in […]
#MediaLit17 Chronicles 8: Presentations — Part 1

Unfortunately they’re too many of us to do it in one group so I’ll only get to see half the presentations, including giving my own […]
#MediaLit17 Chronicles 7: Communication and the Arts
Time for Lunch now it’s One O’Clock, but first we had a promising session with Jim Craig, who was Chaplains to the Arts in Gateshead and is now Chaplain to Guy’s Campus, Kings College London. Arts chaplaincy is something which has been explored to an extent by various people as an aspect of their ministry. […]
#MediaLit17 Chronicles 6: Communicating Faith
We’ve opened with the following video: and used Poll Everywhere to compile one of those word diagrams where the most common word was the largest — and that word was impossible. This prompted an interesting discussion where people responded in the main positively. It was cool, it was endearing, it was inspirational. However, as I pointed out, […]
#MediaLit17 Chronicles 5: Could AI have souls?
The afternoon session concluded after having talked through a variety of different practical solutions for using technology in church or for podcasting and vlogging. Then we transitioned into evening prayer, done via the Church of England app or website. There was also the option to tweet a prayer if wanted during this. I tweeted this: […]
#MediaLit17 Chronicles 4: Tech for Comms
Lunch was pretty tasty and it was lovely to get to know some of the other delegates a bit, and I look forward to getting to know them better throughout the week. This next session is a bit more practically focused with Ian Britton from Premier Radio. He’s started by demonstrating the quality of interviews […]
