Reflective Memo about the Online Space

Because I chose a single place I could not find specific online memos about my Church, but I was able to find several blog type websites that discuss different activities that other Churches of Christ participate in. The study of these online spaces helped me to realize how many alternate activities there are to participate in, as well as how many things we participate in that other churches do also. For example, I learned that many churches here in the community of Nashville have days where they help out with disaster relief. I knew a few other organizations that participated in helping with the disaster relief, but I did not realize how many churches were actually involved in this process. I also learned new things that are church may could begin helping with that we do not participate in. We could collect snack items for the waiting rooms at hospitals and collect the tabs on coke cans for the Ronald McDonald foundation. Those were two activities I noticed other churches being involved in that our church is not. Looking into these blogs also helped me to realize how many people want to discuss their ideas and beliefs. I would not think that many people would want to discuss this, especially online with people they do not know, but it gave me some insight to how willing people are to evangelize even through typing simple words on the internet.
