We (the MO Guys) have recently been appointed adjunct professors in the Master of Arts Program in Missional Leadership at Northwest Nazarene University in Boise, Idaho. This innovative online program seeks to equip leaders to effectively do ministry in our twenty-first century by taking ministry outside the walls of the church.
The first course on tap is titled “Communicating Visually”. Each week of the course has a topical emphasis. As a service to the larger community of those seeking effective ministry in this time, and as a glimpse into what the students are learning, we have published the course’s weekly online lecture in this space.
In the interest of continuing education, we’d love to see your reactions in the comments below. Enjoy.

This online lecture is available for purchase as a PowerPoint file and is ideal for presentation to a church committee or group on the value of communication in ministry. For more information, CLICK HERE.

Your article reminds me of the many folks parodying the Mac/PC commercials. The first one I saw I thought was fun, but after that they all seemed unimaginative. (I guess that first example was no more or less than the others, I just saw it first.) Do you remember the movie Multiplicity, where Michael Keaton’s character clones himself. Then the clones clone themselves and the result is a goofy version of the original. The reason — when you make a copy of a copy, its never as sharp as the original. Perhaps, that’s what ends up happening. More and more I’m attempting to create my metaphors around the local experiences of my parishoners. They may not work well in someone else’s parish, but they seem to be ringing true for my folks.
