The San Antonio Express-News did a story on churches using MySpace, “Pastor is making MySpace his own”, on November 18, which featured a brief quote from yours truly:
To Kevin Hendricks, chief blogger for Church Marketing Sucks, these Christian alternatives created “yet another Christian ghetto”–just like art, music and books made to respond to secular originals.
“When we as Christians see something cool, we say, ‘Well that involves interaction with the secular world, and that’s scary. It might get dirty and ugly.’ But what happens is you lose this interaction (with the public) if you’re only talking to people in your church.”
Hey Kevin. Just wanted to let you know that I’m the “tech geek” that set up my pastors MySpace and was interviewed by the newspaper. I pointed the Newspaper guy in your website’s direction, as I have been a reader of your blog for a while now. Thanks for all you do. Our MySpace series was a huge sucess.
