Catholic New Media Conference 2011

Cnmclogo_blue I want to give a shout-out to the folks who are putting on this year's Catholic New Media Conference (the 4th annual one!), coming up September 30-October 2 in Kansas City.

In case you're wondering, the "new media" covers things like web pages, blogging, podcasting, and social networking. Since they have a guy from Vatican Radio speaking, it also apparently includes radio, so everything since Marconi is in! (Sorry, newspapers; you're out. Anything radio, television, Internet, mobile device, or other telecommunications, though, you're good!)

I'm afraid that I won't be there (this year . . . cue ominous music), but the organizers are really good people who are trying to employ the latest tools that technology has made available for Pope Benedict and Blessed John Paul II's call for a new evangelization.

If you at all can, I hope you'll attend the conference and find it an immensely enriching experience!

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  1. Not being in media directly, I couldn’t justify going even though it is in my hometown. I would have loved to have gone, though.
