Creating an Online Parish Resource Center

One historic dimension of Christian formation has been proclamation of the good news, the kerygma of the gospel message. It is a feature of Christian community that has been and will always be with us, yet we are consistently challenged to take advantage of the means of communication that are available as well as those that are evolving. I serve as an associate priest at a large, urban parish in Washington, D.C. In my capacity as director of adult formation, I was asked early on to begin exploring some of the possible advantages of electronic and social media. After almost two years of development, we recently dedicated a digital resource center. This is the story of Spirit Link, St. Columba’s digital resource for spiritual exploration and Christian formation. While it has taken some time, I want to assure you that in the end this is not an onerous or overwhelming project. If your parish has a website, a digital resource center can be as elaborate or as simple as you would like to make it. Please click on the link below to learn more.
