Internet Ministry Conference - Day 3 - Session 1
After doing a little session shuffle, I wound up this morning in a session by Kent Shaffer from ChurchRelevance.com. The session was titled “Communication Without Words”. Kent convered many aspects of design and the power of the environment. He presented many examples of how the outside world uses design, and made connections to useage in the church and minstry arena.

I need to stew on this one. Lots of Great information. Fantastic session.
