Why our Churches can never change

Church needs to move ahead in technology. No where in the world, religion and technology combined to form a positive energy and India's Church is no exception.

The young brigade of Ahmedabad Church promised moon but seems to be realizing now that it is too late to make changes.

Change is never constant. But there should be a beginning to change. Change may not be in the guard of honor but in the way we work and interact and disseminate information.

Churches still maintain registers, the age old custom that never changed its colour even in this Facebook and Twitter era. It still give manual receipts and keeps manual accounts because no one wants change.

In churches constant remained unchanged. The root cause of animosity between members are lack of transparency. How can this transparency get imbibed into the Church. Only technology can change. But what is the ideal technology?

Well, this is the question no one have answers to. Many feel computing machines are answer to these complex issues. On the contrary they are not. Merely having a CPU and Monitor doesn't solve the problem. The answer is in the question itself.

Age doesn't matter. What matters is the aptitude to change. The willingness to adapt to changed situations. The road ahead towards work empowerment.

Many friends who joined this group (facebook.com/ahmedabadchurch) have asked this question of why we need a FB or Blog. The answer is in the question itself.

This is not the beginning of change. A blog or FB page cannot bring change. What can bring change is your opinion. The strong urge to speak out. The zeal towards transparency.

Forget Speak Asia, welcome Speak Church. Forget Facebook, welcome Faithbook
