Prayer via Podcast?

Now there's no excuse to miss a Sunday sermon: according to a story in Crosswalk.com, churches are increasingly using podcasts and other new media to connect with their congregants:

“We have to have all forms of information,”  [said Grant] Edwards [senior pastor at Fellowship Christian Church]. “We still hand out paper (during services) but we have to have podcasts, too.”

Of course, Edwards still has some technological limits—which currently includes Twitter. 

“I find it a nuisance, because I don’t want to Twitter 12 times a day with people telling me they just had coffee,” Edwards said, managing a chuckle. “I’d rather they pray or read a book. They could be developing a relationship with God.”

Hey, if I can download that relationship via iTunes? I'm totally in.
