The New Media Project at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York is a research endeavor funded by the Lilly Endowment aimed at helping religious leaders become theologically savvy about technology.
New Media Project
At the New Media Project at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York we think religious leaders need more than primers in building websites and using social media. We believe that leaders of faith communities also need a larger interpretive framework for recognizing and evaluating the massive shift in communication patterns and tools from print to digital. Even though this shift will have a lasting effect on the church, compelling theological interpretations of it have not yet been adequately developed. Nor do sufficient strategic frameworks yet exist to help faith communities move forward using technology in theologically responsible ways. In short, we want to help religious leaders be theologically savvy about technology.
The New Media Project at Union Theological Seminary is a two-year research oriented project involving six research fellows who are conducting case studies; interviewing experts in social media, congregational ministry, theology, and journalism; collecting and sharing research online; and commenting on it regularly via blog posts. The project is generously supported by a grant from the Lilly Endowment.
Our purpose is to help the church interpret theologically the massive changes in communication and technology occurring today, and to create a constructive framework to help pastors and religious leaders employ new digital media in ways that strengthen faith communities. Read the blog posts for more of our hunches and ideas about all of this.
