Using Media for Ministry- Walking with the People of God

This course is in response to the words of Pope Francis: 'Saint Ignatius says that anyone accompanying a pilgrim must walk at the same pace as the pilgrim, not ahead and not lagging behind. And this is what I mean: a Church that accompanies the journey, that knows how to walk as people walk today.' In our mass mediated world to know how to 'to walk as people walk today' includes having an Informed and critical understanding of the nature, the techniques, and the impact of the mass media especially on the platforms of Television. Film, and Social Media. This course will offer you ways to serve as interpreter and trusted guide concerning the media for the people of God as you walk with them in whatever ministry you are called to whether you are a minister, a priest, a religious, or a lay person.
