ATM for Jesus -
seriously?
October of 2002 I was sitting at
Catalyst Leadership Conference
listening to Ron Martoia, an
transformational architect (whatever that means). He told me to picture
going to church where I went to a dim lit room, there I would enter and sit in a
very form fitting comfortable chair, put on a audio headset, watching my own
touch monitor on the back of the seat in front of me and choose my own worship
experience. Some where during the experience I would have an opportunity
to give tithe and offerings by using my credit/debit card and run it through a
read which is built in to my arm rest or on the monitor I'm watching. At
first I thought this guy is a quack, but sure enough 4 years later...
ATM JESUS!Check out this article of a church that has Kiosks
aka credit/debit card machines to allow you to give your tithes. I'm not
sure how I feel about this besides it's extremely odd, but very practical.

why not? for too long the institutional church has drug its feet in relation to "going greek" and when i look around in america, i'm actually suprised at the number of people still attending. but i'm a radical and think the gospel should be relevant to every culture.
I'm sure people had the same misgivings when churches started accepting checks instead of cash. I see no problem with changing methods as long as you're not changing principles.
