Last summer I preached a series and I gave the opportunity for people to text me during the messages. I made sure I had enough time at the end of the sermon to view the text messages and answer any relevant questions (I didn't address each text message as they came in – just at the end). It was a great way to keep people involved. I received LOTS of positive feedback for this, and really no negative feedback. My ministry context: I'm on the pastoral team of a mid-west, conservative, Evangelical church.

The days of strict oral communication (non-interactive, where one teaches and the rest receive) are fading. More and more people process information by contributing and being involved, and not just through receiving. It's how people learn now, and how many schools are structuring learning environments.

In response to your comment about “weaving the questions and comments the he receives into his sermon in real-time” check out what Westwinds (in Jackson, MI) has done with Twitter:

Wow. This isn’t hard to believe though… forward thinking can be a good thing.

I wonder if people get distracted…
