Further to a great event last Saturday at the Christian New Media Conference, with nearly 300 people in attendance, look out for the next event from Evangelical Alliance:
Social media is changing the way we relate to one another on a daily basis. Globally people are spending more time on Facebook than they are using Google’s search engine. Five hundred million people are now communicating via Facebook, and Twitter is reshaping the way that news is spreading around the world. With this amount of change occurring, how can Christians harness the power of social media to bring social transformation?
30 November 2010: All Soul’s Church, Langham Place, London
Cost: £15, including lunch and refreshments
Plus, the first 30 people who book will receive a complimentary copy of Leonard Sweet’s Jesus Manifesto at the event – so book now to get one!
