“The question of how to connect with that generation is a primary question of the church and has been for a number of years,” said Troy Messenger, who teaches at Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan and focuses on the use of media in worship. “Biblical texts are in such another time and culture, it can be very difficult to translate to our life. A two-minute movie clip can do so much more than two minutes of sermon.”

Is this true? Should I just play video clips and then go .. 'well there you go' that says way more than anything I could ever say'? (And is there more than just a little irony in the guy who teaches media in worship a Mr Messenger?) So many questions, but no answers. Can you help me?
