Ideal position

Describe on basis of what I know, the ideal position in Christian leadership for me

My first choice is that of working in theological education to utilize computer communications and electronic publishing. The mission here is to utilize the most efficient and effective media of the day. I love the research into new technology applications for ministry and theological education. I am mesmerized by the possibilities for a wider availabilty of theological education, and a new paradigm for education by virtue of the variety of communication forms that can be developed, networked, and interacted with.
The psychosocially liberating aspects of online communication can free students to be more creative, expressive, and uninhibited. The possibilities in networking these fruits of the community widens the sphere of influence, and builds what we might call "profound databases"; not because information itself is liberating, but that the new ways we can now interact and share information gives us faster access to INFORMATION that we use to do our study and offer to others as "fuel" to spark dialogue. If we can spend less time gathering, get more in the process, and share it with each other more quickly and interact with each other more fully, then I think we will discover new horizons in theological education.
