Podcasting the living tradition - Donald E. Skinner, UUWorld
There’s no escaping church now with sermons available for iPods and other MP3 players.
The Rev. Nancy McDonald Ladd was less than a year into her first called ministry in the fall of 2004 when the congregation’s webmaster introduced her to a new term––podcasting.
Why not, said Jack Harper, let members and friends listen to her sermons on their iPods and other MP3 players while commuting to work or exercising?
McDonald Ladd, minister of the Bull Run Unitarian Universalists in Manassas, Virginia, thought it was a fine idea. Harper went to work, and now the congregation’s website offers sermons by podcast. “We have a very spread out congregation,” said McDonald Ladd. “A lot of people who can’t get here every Sunday are finding it beneficial to listen to my sermons outside of church.”
