OCA Department of Youth, Young Adult, and Campus Ministry to host new media workshop
A three-day workshop titled “New Media in Orthodox Student Ministry” will be hosted by the Orthodox Church in America’s Department of Youth, Young Adults and Campus Ministry in Chicago August 4-7, 2009.
The workshop will bring together students responsible for the Orthodox Christian Fellowship’s podcasts and professionals in the fields of youth and ministry to identify effective ways to harness new media in student ministry.
Workshop speakers and facilitators include Mr. John Maddux of Ancient Faith Radio; Mr. Steve Edwards, Executive Program Director of National Public Radio’s Chicago affiliate WBEZ and member of Chicago’s Holy Trinity Cathedral; and Protodeacon Joseph Matusiak of the OCA Youth Department. Discussions will seek to develop the format and theme of the OCF podcast.
“In bringing together students and professional youth and radio workers, we hope to be challenged to think deeply about what will make a good student-oriented production,” said Mr. Jonathan Bush, OCF podcast coordinator.
