Apparently three of the largest “entities” on the planet are meeting up to discuss communication best practices, or at least two of them are going to teach the third a thing or two:
Media experts will join bishops from across Europe to tell them how best to communicate the Catholic Church’s message in the 21st century.
Steeped in history, the Church often struggles to explain its outlook and Pope Benedict XVI has in recent months been mired in controversy over remarks about the role condoms can play in halting the spread of Aids and his decision to rehabilitate a Holocaust-denying British bishop.
During a four-day conference which starts on Thursday, representatives from the social network Facebook, the search engine Google, the YouTube video sharing website and the online encyclopedia Wikipedia will explain the importance of “new media” in the lives of young people.
What fun! I would love to see someone live-tweet it or live-blog it.
