Something Happening Here...
04 November 2004Investigating the Christian blogosphere in the November cover story of the Australian Salvation Army magazine WarCry, Jen Vuk wonders whether Christian bloggers are carrying forward the public debate missing from the mainstream Church (reprinted here with permission). While it's hard to fathom where Vuk found such an apolitical church, we're thrilled to see God-bloggers, including the excellent Bene Diction, getting the recognition they deserve. Unfortunately, Vuk's piece focuses more on the method and novelty of blogging than on the varieties or substance of Christian blogs, and precious little attention is given to either the debates that certainly do exist on God blogs (a comic understatement, to say the least), or to the role religion and faith play on these blogs, both for writers and readers. That's a missed opportunity for Vuk, because we know Bene Diction has a smart and thoughtful lot to say on both these subjects. Still, we're glad that the recognition went to such a good site -- that can only raise the bar on religion reporting and debate.
