A while back I realized that the most effective way to talk about being Presbyterian is to actually talk about being Presbyterian! I’m pleased to announce the launch of the BeingPresbyterian Podcast right here at BeingPresbyterian.ca.
In this “inaugural” episode, I chat with Rev. Matt Brough. Matt is the minister at one of The Presbyterian Church in Canada’s newest congregations, Trinity Winnipeg. Matt, a recovering web developer like me, talks with me about the impact of social media (Facebook, blogging, Twitter, etc.) on his ministry.
Update: I forgot to mention that Matt and I also chatted about how ‘cool’ the Presbyterian polity is. Really.
Matt also does a great job of pitching CanadaYouth09 at the end, so be sure to listen all the way through!
If you’d like to be a guest on the BeingPresbyterian Podcast, please feel free to contact me at ccarmichael[at]presbyterian[dot]ca.

Hi Colin,
I saw your note about disappointment and listened. Great stuff. It got me very interested in new techy stuff and how it can help my congregation.
I’m going to check out Twitter as well. I have not blogged, but your conversation got me thinking about it.
Good job!

Hi Angus! Clearly I’m not above grovelling for comments on Facebook…
If anyone is venturing onto Twitter (twitter.com), you can find me at http://www.twitter.com/ccarmichael and Matt can be found at http://www.twitter.com/mbrough.
If you want to learn a little more about what Twitter is you can read a post I wrote almost a year ago on my personal blog: http://colincarmichael.ca/2008/03/24/what-is-twitter/
