What's Wrong With Christian Media?
WHAT'S WRONG (& right) WITH CHRISTIAN MEDIA?
This question was posed by Mal Fletcher in a somewhat controversial speech to the Christian Broadcasting Council (UK) last week.
You can hear the speech, and read the full transcript, right here on this site.
'Why do we claim that we want to speak to unbelievers when the fund-raising techniques we use drive unbelievers away?'
'Why do we hire salesman-like fund-raising specialists who often distort scripture to bring in the cash?'
These are among the sharp questions Mal asks his audience of Christian producers and broadcasters from across the UK.
There's a lot to inspire, as well as challenge!
Olave Snelling, chairperson for the CBC, said in a letter to Mal: 'What you had to say was, as ever, so timely, measured, important for the Body of Christ and spoken with all the integrity and power of the Holy Spirit behind it. You carry such authority in the Lord and speak such absolute "sense"...'
So don't miss it.

I accidentally came across your EDGES programme on Robotics whilst studying nanotechnology. I'm not Christian, but I want to compliment you on being much more scientific than I would have expected.

As a Care Home Manager for older people...[I see that] the culture of the family unit has changed, but I'm heartened by those that come to work as carers & give quality care & love to the residents.

Thanks so much for visiting Speak The Word Church International (Minneapolis). I am a baby boomer who sat with a GenXer - we both knew that what you said was right on. It made me think. I like that.
