#cmn12 the Levenson enquiry is but the start of changes … If we care about the media we need to ensure our voices are heard…Digital Fingerprint
Almost total silence of faith communities on media issues. Why? Media is struggling to find a new ethic and what to build it on. #cmn12russ bravo
@theMediaNet @RevTonyMiles @giles_fraser Gospel is offensive, but we have robbed it of its teeth in the name of contextualisation #cmn12Richard Littledale
Bishops are asked to live out proclamation of the gospel and be prophetic, not be kindly managers #cmn12 #gilesfraserruss bravo
@richardlittleda think is referring to ‘THE Church’ – not that I’m sure that what that is is clear… #cmn12Digital Fingerprint
RT @russbravo: Base of CofE is so diverse, there is almost nothing you can say that won’t upset someone. #gilesfraser #cmn12Digital Fingerprint
@vickybeeching part reason for @bigbible – big fundamentalist churches do social media well, let’s get wider range voices online #cmn12Digital Fingerprint
#cmn12 church has become over-beaurocratised … not recognisable from freedoms available in the gospelDigital Fingerprint
The world of the parish priest is often much bigger than the world of the media, with it’s short-termism and refusal to engage #cmn12russ bravo
#cmn12 hear hear – the media is NOT something that the church needs to be protected from, but to be engaged with …Digital Fingerprint
"You will often be misrepresented, but unless we take that risk, we die in a different way – we die from irrelevance." @giles_fraser #cmn12Emma Boyd

#cmn12 Was reminded of this book that I have read cover to cover (a true accolade ;-)) – http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Journey-Towards-Relevance-Transforming/dp/0972927689/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348493478&sr=8-1Digital Fingerprint
RT @networkea1: #cmn12 "forced into irrelevance by a lack of voice" Giles Fraser // church needs to learn to speak up … Preferably well..Digital Fingerprint
@vickybeeching Engaging with people is the church’s business, and if it takes the media to do it, then we should not fear. #cmn12Richard Littledale
Church of England invented the ‘Big Tent’ philosophy. Bring as many people together as possible. Hence bishops’ reticence to speak #cmn12russ bravo
@vickybeeching of course Clare Rayner is someone to aspire to 😉 #cmn12 we need to do it as well as poss, but not be put off engagingDigital Fingerprint
@vickybeeching think u know what I think? #cmn12 Clare Rayner once said ‘if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing’ …Digital Fingerprint
Do you think the Church should be keen to engage with media, or shy away from it to avoid misrepresentation? What do u think Tweeple? #cmn12Vicky Beeching
#cmn12 very impressed at lack of notes by @giles_fraser … Clearly passionate about what he talking about…Digital Fingerprint
Hope everyone has a great time at #cmn12. I went to #cmn10 in the academy. Excellent training from all the team thereSam Pratt
#cmn12 it’s ok to talk about religion, politics & sex at dinner parties – because they’re topics people are passionate about?Digital Fingerprint
English Civil War brutalised the nation. Religion that came after it was to be mistrusted if it was passionate. #cmn12russ bravo
@danny_webster I’ll probably Storify at end of day ;-)Digital Fingerprint
Hiding behind spin doctors and lawyers was partly why #occupy was such a PR disaster for St Paul’s says Giles Fraser at #cmn12Joe Ware
“The Church is so afraid of media, so defensive, as if it has a target on its back all the time. Why?” asks @giles_fraser #cmn12Vicky Beeching
"The fear of the media can distort the way church works and deliberates" says @giles_fraser #cmn12Jennifer Walters
@Hels_Bels_1 excellent ;-)Digital Fingerprint

@danny_webster you not planning to enjoy at a distance 😉 #cmn12Digital Fingerprint
Bishops can’t say anything interesting to the media because
they’re afraid – and maybe they’re right to be so #gilesfraser #cmn12russ bravo
#cmn12 work it out what it is you believe/what you stand for, and then work out how best to transmit that message .. amen!Digital Fingerprint
#cmn12 interesting @giles_fraser found himself ‘leading the peasant’s revolt’ at St Paul’s because of the way of the media is representedDigital Fingerprint
