Currently at the Churches’ Media Council (officially retired last night, to be renamed the Church and Media Network) Conference in Swanwick, Derbyshire. Already over halfway through, and it’s really interesting. Haven’t got time for a full-blog as need to get back into the swing, but thought I would register my presence here, and can add a blog, or blogs later, as the mood takes!
So far we have already heard from:
- The Attourney General, the Rt Hon the Baroness Scotland, QC: Faith in the Public Sphere (see this blog for a good summary)
- John Lloyd, Pastor Nims Obunge and Professor Mona Siddiqui: What are the media doing to our… (respectively) politics, young people, God?
- Hardeep Singh Kohli: Comedy
- Olly Hamilton: Music
- Torin Douglas and Philip Graf: “Faith and Values in Digital Britain: PSP RIP?”
- Joel Edwards, Andrew Graystone: “Launch of the Church and Media Network”
- Paul Jackson, Nick Booth on Beyond Broacasting: What Next?
Plus I’ve been to Strand events on “Online and New Media” (see photo 1, photo 2) and Fringe Events on “Googling God” and “Bliss Radio“, plus chatted with several people and eaten far too much stodge! Special dinner in about 15 minutes! We still have more to come tomorrow…
Twitter at #cmconf
With no official hashtag designed for the conference, and #cmc and #cmc09 already in use by other organisations, have started the hashtag #cmconf, which would be great to use longer-term! I have identified the following Twitterers as being at this conference, mostly by searching for “churches media”, but also identifying some face-to-face. Today I’ve worn my “Keep Calm and Carry On” t-shirt to help identification of me: http://www.twitter.com/drbexl:
