iWonder Probes Beliefs


iWonder offers an opportunity for relationship-building conversation about our beliefs, perspectives, and understanding of life.

Based on the interactive discussion experience of WonderCafe.ca, iWonder uses a multimedia approach to help spark conversations in your congregation and community about faith issues and offers the occasion to explore a range of perspectives. 

iWonder discussions take place on WonderCafe discussion threads, through on-line video, and face-to-face using iWonder postcards (free to United Church congregations, while supplies last).

This video montage collects samples from iWonder video interviews done in Hamilton, Ont. this fall. Participants are offering their responses to iWonder's current slate of questions, including:

Gregory West: Making Church a Digital Education Centre


If you are falling short on ideas to attract new people to the church (during the week) you might want to look to what people are doing online.

  • Digital Photography
  • Social Networking
  • Genealogy

In fact, the main group that is extremely active online and are into social networking today are the retiring Baby Boomers. What a great audience to attract to your church. Many of them missed the computer age, or maybe worked in a place with a computer at a "dumb terminal" and only learned what the specific work programs required and nothing more. What a great target audience to attract. Of course there are the seniors who are the biggest buyers of laptops and want to find their old friends...dead or alive! Hey, I am not joking here.
