Effective Use of New Media to Evangelize

Matthew Warner is a former electrical engineer who is now focusing on the "New Media," especially as it apples to the Church. He recently wrote a short essay about the Mormons and their use of media to spread their message. While I am not familiar with the particular ad he is referring to, over the years I have seen a number of great family values messages that the Mormons have produced.

In this essay, Mr. Warner refers to Catholics Come Home, an evangelization effort that makes effective use of television and other media. The Diocese of Providence and a number of other dioceses around the nation have used this resource to reach out to fallen away (and other) Catholics, as well as other people interested in learning something about the Catholic faith.

Mr. Warner also refers to a couple of other initiatives that evangelize through new media:

     One Billion Stories

     Father Robert Barron: Word on Fire
