On Churches and Organizations Overcoming Tech-Aversion


by

Navigation, road networks, iconography, printing, and other technologies have helped the church advance. In fact, the church invented some of the tech used today. Technology enabled the spread of the good news in the early church. This is still true today. Being a tech-savvy church isn’t about being total geeks.
