Description

Updated 2021 - Turning Barriers Into Bridges by Dr. John Jay Frank, explores why and how we can use our computers, sound systems, and the Internet inclusively in church and for outreach. It is a resource for churches and missions seeking to fulfill the Great Commandments and the Great Commission. This book offers Biblical, legal, and cultural reasons for being an accessible church. It presents inexpensive, easy-to-learn ways to use our ICT accessibly all the time. These allow more people to see, hear, and understand the Word of God. Our technology may seem new, but this issue is not new. Seventy-five years ago, in The Screwtape Letters, #2, C. S. Lewis revealed the Senior Tempter's glee that "One of our great allies at present is the Church itself." It greets those who enter with a liturgy they cannot understand and religious lyrics in very small print. We have the opportunity today to use our technology for clarifying instead of obstructing our messages. Inclusive use of technology in churches sends the message that God is accessible to those of us who are able to see, hear, and read well and is also accessible to our neighbors who are less able. Turning Barriers Into Bridges contains more than 140 scriptures and in addition, more than 70 other references, and more than 80 ways to accessibly use our information and communication technology. This 2021 update with 2020 census data, mention of another treaty and law, and several more scriptures and vignettes is available in both a 12 point font paperback and an 18 point font large print edition paperback at Amazon.com, .uk, .ca, and worldwide.
