This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| Not counting baby boomers, the older generations don't like using modern media in church or other such learning places. I've seen it in several types of settings. I used some videos from films with different interpretations that I thought were excellent and stimulating. People only a little older than me didn't like them and were put off by them. For instance, a stage production of the Cotton Patch Gospel really put off some folks, maybe 10 years older. I couldn't tell if they hated the Gospel interpretation in southern terms or the staged acting and rowdy display. I liked it a lot. I thought part of it had to do with educational backgrounds, maybe, and love of theater for another. Generally, after that I found they didn't like film as part of the lesson. Tonight at choir, we used a soundtrack for accompaniment because it had marimba and shakers and tambourines. I loved it. So did a lot of them. But a few hated it. They'd prefer live music, not canned. A live version of that, by volunteers, would sound pretty awful. I have seen a number of older folks get into the I-pads for reading the Bible. Maybe they can locate a passage with the ap that doesn't require knowing where it is, like with a real book. So they're not against all technology or media. Older folk still want to learn, are still willing to question their beliefs, and what they've "always" thought. It's a great sign of wisdom, being able to recognize they don't know it all. Using whatever means available to get through or to open new windows is worth a shot. |
