How Christians can use the New Media
It was good to be at the Christian New Media Conference 2013 on Saturday. I couldn’t stay on for the award ceremony in the evening, but if you want to see a list of the Christian New Media finalists and winners, I’ve copied them below. Just clicking through some of these sites gives you an idea of the vitality and creativity that different Christian groups are bringing to their engagement with New Media.
