Why Internet Evangelism is Becoming Vital
While prepareing for IED day, I have become aware of just how vital internet evangelism is becoming in the high-tech, muli-cultural, conglomerated world of today. As I was trying to post flyers for IED day, I discovered that:
1.) Public libraries are becoming more and more resistant to posting "religious" bulletins on their bulletin boards. Libraries are supported by public tax dollars, and are therefore becoming subject to "separate of church and state" regulations.
2.) The large food store chains that used to have public bulletin boards have now removed these boards either because they wish to either look more upscale, or to avoid litigation, or simply to avoid offending their customers with bulletins they may not care for.
3.) malls are private property and do not allow solicitation of any kind, let alone religious solicitation.
4.) a lot of the old time "mom and pop" stores that used to allow local bulletins to be posted have now been taken over by regional chains that have corporate policies against political and religious solicitation.
5.)Eating establishments and places of entertainment are private property and now usually run by a chain. These chains have corporate policies against the use of their permises for evangelism.
6.)College campuses have been enacting "hate speech" regulations that exclude Christian evangelism from their bulletin boards and platforms.
7.)People today mostly drive in their cars to and from work, or to and from malls and places of entertainment. The street preachers, while still allowed to preach on the street, are mostly being ignored.
The future is pointing to the day when the only evangelism that will be possible will be internet evangelism.
