After eating pasta and cocoa pebbles I had an idea I was thinking about running by our pastor. Setting side maybe a half hour once a week at a specific time where people could get in touch with him via chat online and ask questions, comments or just say wuz uuuuup.
My pastor knows about enough about computers to turn it on. So what would be the best method of doing this?
Would this just be maybe chat through the aim network? Is there a certain website that has chat rooms we could set up for this?
Any ideas appreciated. I need to try to make this as easy for him as possible.
Thanks
Would Anyone Use This?
A big question to ask is, would anyone use this? Who is the audience for a this?
I'm not for or against this. Something like this would be good if there were people who would take advantage of it. I'd start by finding out who thinks it's a good idea and who would even use it. Those are two separate categories.

I dont even know if anyone
I dont even know if anyone would use it. The ones I would think might use it are maybe students in his greek class, the weekly exegesis class maybe or maybe people from other parts of the world who listen online. Not really sure.
Ill have to give it some thought and run it by him
I am actually looking for
I am actually looking for someone to talk to right now. I think it is a wonderful idea. Sometimes people are going thru things in their life and it is easier to ask the questions if you are not right in front of the person.
Great idea!
Chat is one possibility, although it locks the pastor and the audience into a specific time period every week. A forum would allow both to interact at will, the pastor(s) would be able to research answers more easily, and the discussions would be archived for others to reference. One is not inherently better than the other, but this is certainly an area of underserved need. Great idea! -NP
