Christian Blogging –
Bigger and Better
Christian bloggers are
exploding.
That’s how I started
an article I wrote
two-and-a-half years ago, on the then-novel phenomenon of Christian
blogging, pointing to the fast-growing numbers of Christian bloggers.
Now, new things are
happening.
Perhaps the most
significant is the three-day
GodBlog Conference, starting today at Biola University:
The
conference will be an opportunity for Christian bloggers to network and
learn about how blogging can be used to expand Christian influence in the
blogging world. The conference will include speakers such as talk show host
Hugh Hewitt, Dr. John Mark Reynolds of the Torrey Honors Institute, and Dr.
Timothy Muehlhoff of Biola’s communications department.
Naturally, conference
organizers have launched their own
blog, and I was interested to read:
I have
finished the search for a session leader for our "Turn your Blogging into a
Writing Career" breakout session.
James Scott Bell, novelist, screenwriter, and law commentator brings his
immense amount of experience in the publishing industry to GodBlogCon. Bell
is not only talented, but also eminently qualified to talk about how to
develop a writing career. He also blogs at
Suspend Your
Disbelief.
That’s one session I’d
like to attend.
Another recent
development is the evolution of the excellent
blogs4God directory of Christian
blogs (which grew out of
a list that started on this website). It’s attractive, it seems to have
some talented new moderators and it’s full of excellent blogposts.
I’m sure there’s lots
more happening, and I hope to write more in future.
