It's Time To Catch Up: iPod Church Finder

The following is an article I found on a website entitled churchmarketingsucks.com I didn't write this article. But I found it interesting.

In a well written, pithy press release, the "Irish Pubs Directory" people announced that you can now download the iPod version of their list and ratings:

"You won't always have access to the web when you're travelling, especially at the exact moment you're looking for a pub. That's why we are making it possible for you to take the directory with you.Now you can have the directory of pubs along with descriptions and ratings always to hand. Never waste time looking for that perfect Irish pub again! You can choose from two versions...our popular PDA Directory and our new iPod Guide. Both versions contain the pubs, descriptions, ratings and more. All at hand when you need them."


I've got nothing against Irish pubs. But why is it I can now find an Irish pub (with reviews!), a Buffalo Wild Wings (with menu!), a Kinkos/FedEx (with service listings!)in 10 seconds, but I can't find a complete listing of Methodist churches in Columbus, Ohio that tells me which has traditional vs. contemporary services? Or if any has childcare? Or a choir? Or nursery school? Or Bible study? Or... Or... Or...


Wake up and smell the electrons. I don't care what your denomination is. When the "Irish Pubs Directory" is better organized and has better Internet and electronic, portable, personalized marketing than any and all of the major Christian denominations, there's some serious catching up to do
