John Dyer has given me some great insights already in the first few pages of the introduction. I learned some new words like media ecology “which studies how technology operates within cultures and how it changes them over time” (pg 16). Technology is the future of the church – it is not a fad that will slip away. Technology is the fast way to disperse information to the masses. Dyer asks the question is technology neutral? I don't know about you but this is a difficult question - one I look forward to gaining some insight into.
I’m what I have always called a technologian (yep, I just made that word up, right now. If you frequent my blog you know that I do that a lot).

I stumbled upon John Dyer’s blog Don’t Eat the Fruit by accident.

Fortunately, yesterday, I picked up what has to be the last copy in Central Indiana – it bodes well for the book – it is very popular. My prayer is that John’s book touches a part of you – it helps you to see the impact that technology can have on the church – and how we can use technology to redefine our view of loving your neighbor (and who your neighbor is).
It also allows us to reach out to those who would NEVER set foot in a church. After reading the Introduction to this book I am more excited than ever to dive into John Dyer’s book! I hope you will follow along on ChurchMag, the revolution, and all the other blogs as we take a tour of From The Garden To The City.
