Guest lecture at Purchase College to class of social media students. Covers big picture context, examples, "science of social media" results from Dan Zarella
Workshop Slides: OFFERTORY LABORATORY: Offering is not and should not be just about how best to get the money into the plate. Without valuing one more than the other, we must take seriously the fullness of what we offer back to God in our individual and communal time, talents AND treasures. This focus must not just be in words, but in the rituals and practices that we engage in during worship. In this workshop, we will actually workshop a few models for the offering moment in worship. We will roll-play a few ideas and then see what bubbles up. Bruce will bring a few ideas collected from his experience leading worship as well as from the larger online community with whom he interacts, but you are also invited to bring ideas that you have always wanted to try . . . and we'll try it! Please be prepared to move, fail, discover, reflect, then do it all over again.
Was a but rushed to get everything in it, but here is the latest rendition of my social media presentation. This was presented on April 11, 2017 on the campus of Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley. CA.

Virtual Talk with Author & Pastor Bruce Reyes-Chow on Everyday Kindness on 03/22/2022.
Meet the author of In Defense of Kindness, Pastor Bruce Reyes-Chow!
These days we view kindness as an inert act based on the absence of being a jerk, or we see it as heroic and herculean, beyond the reach and capability of mere mortals. But what if kindness was a practice we could each choose, every day, as a way to experience community and wholeness in new, life-giving, world-changing ways?
Reyes-Chow shows how being kind (which is different than being nice) has the power to transform our relationships in all arenas of our life – from the internet to the public square, from those closest to us to those we find it hardest to be kind to, from justice work on the streets to meetings in the boardroom, and from the line at the coffee shop to the line for school drop-off.
Defense of Kindness will jumpstart your heart and inspire you to practice kindness as a daily discipline, grounded in the idea that each person is created and complex and worthy of dignity and respect. Join the kindness movement and help heal the world!
This author talk is inspired by this year’s Silicon Valley Reads’ themes of Kindness, Resilience, and Hope.
Presentation on Kindness with the Nebraska region of the United Church of Christ and the Disciples of Christ. This was presented remotely February 7-9, 2022, and based on my book, "In Defense of Kindness: Why It Matters, How It Changes Our Lives, and How It Can Save the World" (Chalice Press, 2021)
Are You Sure You Want to Do This?: Five Disruptions of Hybrid Church pacifi...Bruce Reyes-Chow

Hybrid Church and Worship | San Gabriel Presbytery Winterfest | Feb 2021Bruce Reyes-Chow

An Expanded and Generous Table: Is Hybrid Worship in Your Future?
While there is no single, best way for people to gather for worship, as the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel begins to shine and the conversation about “going back” begins in earnest, the question for many congregations is this, “Once online worship is no longer the only option for you and your congregation, will you all have the willingness, energy, and capacity to birth, curate, nurture, and sustain a long-term digital space?” or more succinctly put, “What now?”
The decisions that are made about worship in the coming months must not be taken lightly but must be approached with communal discernment, reflective honesty, and faithful practicality. For those with inklings and dreams about hybrid worship, it is my hope that the questions I offer will help you and your leadership to understand different options, assess congregational willingness, energy, and capacity, and make faithful choices that will best equip you for the future.
These are the slides from my talk on the Young Adult Ministry and Outreach. Delivered on the campus of University of the Ozarks at a meeting of Arkansas Presbytery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
