“I think God would be pleased with this,” said the Rev. Grainger Browning Jr., pastor of the 10,000-member Ebenezer AME Church in Fort Washington, Md. “I don’t think that God would want us to try to evangelize like Jesus did 2,000 years ago.”
Or would he? Critics of high-tech churches contend that the big screens, flickering lights and Internet take away from the traditional atmosphere. They also say that some churches are using so much high technology that they look and feel more like entertainment venues than houses of worship.
Oh, for crying out loud. I'm sick of hearing people complain about change simply because it's change. Nothing stays the same forever. Change is usually for the better. In this case, this church is reaching more people through technology than without it. This is a good thing. If people are complaining about a camera and a projector in a church, I suspect they have their priorities screwed up.
