GenCon bloggers

There are some beautiful blogs coming out of GenCon. They are like a separate convention taking place in virtual reality, alongside the "realtime" convention. As Episcopod tells us: "The wonderful thing is that so many people are using new technology to tell the world about GC. Priests are blogging to their congregations, bishops are blogging to their dioceses, lay people are blogging to the world, and the love of Jesus Christ is present in all of these blogs in different ways." I am going to post from time to time some extracts from the ones that amuse or inform. But you can see why Americans blog so much. This picture shows the Columbus Convention Centre where it is all happening. It's not much like Church House in Westminster, surrounded by Starbucks, bookshops, churches and even an Abbey to tempt one into realtime gossip, literature and spirituality. I suddenly have a new compassion for The Episcopal Church and its delegates. What suffering, nine days in a building like that. No wonder they're all surfing off into cyberspace. the rest
