This is a presentation I submitted as an assignment for week 4 of Technology and Information for College class at Kansas Christian College.

1. Church Tech
CAN TECHNOLOGY HELP THE CHURCH

2. What is technology?
 Jacques Ellul makes a distinction between technology and technique.
Technology is the mechanical inventions of man to better his lot in life.
Technique refers to the various phenomenon of advertising, propaganda,
psychological coercion, and the design of organizational structures which
intend efficiency, economic and social control (Ellul 1970).

3. The Good
 Increasing the accessibility of the service through streaming

4. The Good
 Increasing security through cameras and keeping a list of the youth who
are checked in/out.

5. The Bad
 It can distract from the service or even become an idol if we let it.

6. The Bad
 It takes a special kind of strength to not let the increasing accessibility
make us lazy.

7. Conclusion
 Technology can be a great gift or a great burden depending on how it is
used. We are to use technology in a way that is aligned with God’s values.
