Comment on Kindle As Research Tool by Alexis

Hello, welcome!

Yes – I’m curious to see how my use of this little gadget will evolve. I’m sitting here wondering – how long will it be before we see kindle-like devices as the “norm” for things like liturgical settings – z.b. the gospel book as icon in the liturgy etc. This one sticks out for me because the actual use of books rather than scrolls was a largely Christian innovation “back in the day” – will we be so willing to innovate again? What would that look like? Would we find “dedicated” devices for liturgical use?

Funny how the Kindle gets under your skin. After a bit of experimentation I have filled mine up with all sorts of classic texts – some of them PDF scans where a OCR’d version wasn’t available.

As I recently blogged (http://www.future-shape-of-church.org/?e=33) I have also found the Kindle very useful in practical ministry. I certainly preach from it every week, use it for funerals, and for meetings where I don’t want to carry my laptop.

Greetings Alexis,

I’ve missed your thought-provoking posts and unapologetic OC/IC voice. Interesting post and it bears some more thought…

Word has it that you are close to being done with das elefant? Good luck and good wishes!

Great post!

“fine-tuning the spirit, character, and body of the individual, training him or her towards transcendence” is a great picture for goal and picture for Followers of the Way (although transcendence might scare many away ).

I think you summed up a lot of my goals for WeLiveSimply in your closing paragraph…

“nally, with less clutter, less stuff, and more opportunities to engage and create with others, and for others, one finds that the fulfillment of things is replaced with a more stable, deeper fulfillment of personality – this is an expression of true asceticism, and the goal of Christian teaching.”

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the link to WeLiveSimply!

Yeah, he’s the bad guy.
His mind is hard, dark, and closed, nothing gets in, not even the voice of the God Om.
He represents fundamentalism, hunger for power, and the worship of the institution all wrapped up into one.
He is a murderous, destructive character. Everyone fears and loathes him – even Om wants to kill him. He is only interested in building his own power “in the name of” Om.

Thanks Lyngine! I’m hoping to return to investing more time in the site once I finish the last edits of the PhD from hell.
