GUIDELINES FOR PASTORAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION

Share content INTERNET
Until recently Internet sharing meant to put a content (text, image, audio or video) "on line" to make it accessible to users. Due to the evolution of computer technology, content sharing now means that the user endorses the content, we could say that appropriates it and uses it as computing options ofrece.La convergence of the Internet makes it susceptible to any reality computer (converted into binary format) is transportable.Partamos the assumption that it is offering to share some of my property with a third party. (Do not go into the copyright issue, which I think are inalienable) FEATURE

content in Internet, unlike print, radio or TV, is that these contents are not fleeting, but can be "called" with a click, this feature gives rise to a large theme file that search engines like Yahoo, Google , etc.; try ordenar.El new concept to radio or television is expressed in the form of a menu, where you hear what I want when I choose.

SHARE VIDEO: a clear example is the site http://www.youtube.com/ having a Christian version http://www.godtube.com/ , offering the possibility literally "to put into a common table" contents in video, and then be appropriated by the user (usually hung within any Web site), indeed, to see the video, does not necessarily have to leave the Web page you are visiting.


PASTORAL OPPORTUNITIES are concrete because it is a distribution channel for many audiovisual messages (firmware, television spots, corporate messages, press conferences, workshops, etc..) Which are intended to be filed by the lack of channels dissemination. Audiovisual products that cost money, and could not be broadcast at convenient times on TV channels spending means found on 'Youtube' a alternative channel of distribution.
So far there is no effort to systematize and organize the themes of such minimally videos (creating virtual channels or TV stations) that for several years now circulating on the net. EXAMPLE


Several of the speeches of Pope Benedict XVI in Brazil have been captured and placed anonymously on YouTube, this content could be uploaded to institutional or personal Web sites, offering a great spreading the message of the Pope in a given context.
Currently in the V Conference of Aparecida, offers video content (via the company Terra http://terratv.terra.com.br/ or "Internet TV" New Song Community http://www.webtvcn.com/ none of these options offer the service to share information on the concept set forth above and the great limitation is that access to these services need broadband Internet.

AUDIO: When it comes to audio content, began to decrease in number of experiences. The very concept of "sharing" using Youtube may be applied to audio files, that is stored on the Internet and can be utilized at several Web sites at once.
Several radio programs, which are invested human and financial resources, to be ignored then transmission, assuming the listener has heard or lives within the geographical area where radio program is broadcast, if stored on the Internet, could profit from the radio product. Message recordings, radio spots, recorded sermons, interviews, press conferences, are raw materials that are discarded or stored and could be computerized and put on the network with the ability to play and record on our computers.

What is gained?
- as audio files on the Web can be heard worldwide
- will simultaneously creating a digital archive (at year end have audio file to a CD, with a historical value added)
- the radio stations can use these files as first-hand material and technical quality to disseminate, without having to be multiplying the recordings.
- Web sites can use
http://www.evoca.com/ is one such site that offers these possibilities (albeit with many limitations) to share audio files under the features discussed in this text . Although a service - in my view - experimental (if anyone knows of other sites please send me an e-mail)

On the other hand, for the audio format there is Pod-cast is an instrument that greatly alleviates the dissemination of audio content.

TEXT:
curiously uncomfortable enter a field, as Web sites that share textual content to other sites are very few, at most sites are offering a banner "auto-update" ends up being a hook to the site "supplier."
The church or religious sites, in my view will be characterized by the multiplication of efforts under a common goal. It is normal that each site wants to have visibility - for that have been created - however this means that every web-master must constantly update content in most cases is taken from other sites. A clear example are the news programs or news Web sites, making us masters of "cut and paste"

Unfortunately the contents to text format, are not places like YouTube that offer the possibility of sharing under the pooling parameters. One sites that do meet the criteria to which I refer is http://www.evangeliodeldia.org/ (if anyone knows of a site to share their content on these parameters - please let me know justoariel@hotmail.com )

Example
Many Web sites are reporting on the event V Conference, pages should be copied innumerable press reports of http://www.celam.info/ then paste the content - perhaps with some photos - in your own Web page.
Although I am not computer, I think that technically there is the possibility of offering the service of creating a standard that allows it to be displaying the content owners and Web pages that require it.

This would be a value added service, since the ultimate aim is to get the message to as many people and not get as many jabs in this or that Web site. Any Web site, large or small, has a primary audience that comes and think there is common content can be released "simultaneously"



--------- ---------- o These are only examples of how to use information technology - in this case the Internet - for our pastoral work, leaving aside, at least for a moment - on rhetoric.
Learning to share content in this way, taking the example of people who in their eagerness to communicate with these "wonderful instrument" create real services and spaces, is also a sign of recognizing that not always the lead.

May these lines is a challenge to demonstrate that it is possible.
If you have any comments or observations I ask that you leave it in the blog, with a "click" on

V-CULTS AND SOCIAL MEANS OF COMMUNION

One of the major concerns of the Catholic Church in Latin America is without doubt the fundamentalist sects .

This subject will occupy an important space for reflection during the V Conference of Bishops in Aparecida - Brazil

Reflection on the problem of the sects that are bleeding a Catholic Christian Community in Latin America, has many angles: from funding economic world powers to the geopolitical expansion of these sects on the continent has been called the Continent of Hope, because it was said that more than half of Catholic Christians were in the New World.

Although the term fundamentalist is used for the first time in the decade of the 20 U.S. [2] , is just the beginning of the 80's comes the merger of the Pentecostal preachers and wise use of media mass media (at that time the TV and Radio, now has joined the Internet using a format in which converge all other mass media)

The truth is that the Catholic Church - especially in Latin America - was filled in recent decades by groups of itinerant evangelical preachers, radio stations and regional TV channels and national network, publishing houses that publish a variety of popular magazines , religious books, music products, contacts with the public through "personal letters computerized" virtual universities, interactive Web sites, pilgrimage centers, amusement parks for families, political lobbies, hospitals, etc.

Many of these initiatives are, today, self-sustaining by the insistent campaigns donation of the followers of these movements and the management of the media is under the direction of those Protestant leaders, who have managed to set up independent of any hierarchy, since members of these groups have the sense to ensure their salvation by following the God's will for them is indicated by the preacher.

The V Conference can not not talk about Social Media
aside communication theories and the theological foundations of this real phenomenon for other areas of academic reflection, it is important to call attention to the fact that the phenomenon of sects and reproduce the progressive Pentecostal groups is closely linked to the use of the media that they do. Moreover, when we finally realized that society is strongly influenced by the emergence of new ways to communicate and access to new communication tools.

is not entering into a technological competence in the field of communication, but to be aware of the use and importance of media in the field, not only social, but also ecclesial, spiritual and every aspect the life of the Church.

Disciples and missionaries of Jesus Christ

From the Catholic Church, Community of Communities, is expected excellence and exemplary in every action that humanizes most secularized society. So, if today the Church is looking for a space for dialogue with the World, will use the media and current languages \u200b\u200bused by people of our time.

climb is not the idea that our message of salvation must be sought out by others, because if it is true that our mission is "to go and evangelize all corners of the earth", this means the divine command discipleship that use the instruments of Divine Providence has placed at our disposal, as would the Apostle of people: Paul of Tarsus.

"Discipleship" was precisely the focus of reflection that have chosen the pastors of the Continent of Hope.

it is not enough to ignore the proper use that can be given to the media, that after all are only tools, up to us to use we can give it, bearing in mind that we like it or not living in a context strongly marked and conditioned by the novelty of virtual and real spaces that are products of our time.

Communication as MC service


no longer strange to say that we live in through a "culture media" or a "generation of the MC" what they think men and women of a certain spatial and temporal context is conditioned, in part, by the MCS [1]


contextualization
Bolivian society - in its Latin American context - with all the social changes and that is living in recent times seen in the MCS an almost essential tool to inform, educate, train and communicate either for or against social groups, whether in our reality there are analysts who speak of a social revolution, we should also to talk about a media revolution.

pastoral agents move and live our consecration in this context, regardless of where we place ourselves we are in the media culture and interact with the generation of the MC.

This brief look at the social, puts us in the context in which our religious communities carry out their mission with different charisms, with services covering various spaces in society where we are called to be signs of God. And we do in our little world, perhaps knowing that we are not alone.

"No one lights a lamp to cover it with a pot or put it under the bed, but puts it up for those who enter may see the light" Lk. 8.16

This little verse from the Gospel of Luke, has been an inspiration to invite colleagues tirelessly in my diocese as a Communication Officer in Cochabamba, and I confess that at times was little interest in sharing our activities with community - in this case the local church - can be disguised as a false humility and silence that is more of a default.

On the other hand there is the old premise that traditional MCS are something like the fourth power in society, this theory - in my opinion - has been overcome to enter the "information age", created by new technologies communication and access to them: cell phones, email, the Internet, chat, among others. Not only are we talking only about large deployments latest satellite technology, but also the traditional MCS have converged Internet and digital media are proposed as low cost and greatly speeding up the flow of information and hence communication.

You are the light of the world: a city on a hill can not be hid. (Matt. 5:14)

In this context we can call the information society and we are part and consecrated persons are called to go one step further to break down prejudices that prevent personal or group communicate with others , as little or much to do in terms of communication and are imported directly to the ecclesial community and society.


The communication within the Church helps build ecclesial communion
When trying to justify why the communication is a service, I refer to the Pastoral Instruction "Aetatis Novae "having a look back after 20 years of Vatican II and in 1992 - prophetically, announces the changes that are coming into the world of communications.
In the text of this document focuses on "communication task" and presented to the MCS to:
- service people and cultures
- service of dialogue with the modern world
- the service of human community and
social progress - the service of ecclesial communion
- New Evangelization service


Share the challenges and mature projects, enrich the experience can only be done in community, not only to internal house religious church but in a field where you may already have been initiatives in the field that we get ready to undertake.

Taking the step to share our experiences, to inform ... in short to communicate beyond our narrow environment requires overcoming the uncertainty of "going to meet with the other", discard the prejudices of race, is to step forward and accept that I am called to build community in a particular geographic and social context.

communicate our experiences is something that many times we say in our communities: putting things in common. This "sharing" this "to share with the Catholic community" creates human bonds, and this - well - it is done through specific actions: an e-mail, a brochure, an open letter, a photo sent to friends. Moreover, an interview on the radio, or television, a personal web page.

Doing this with a constructive approach is to build communication and communion. Document Aetatis

Nava
question ... why the Church insists on the right of everyone to have accurate information in their own right to speak the real truth of the Gospel and the responsibility of pastors to communicate the truth and to train the faithful to do the same? Because communication in the Church means from the communication itself that makes the Word of God. (N. 10)


Communication in society helps to strengthen the dialogue between the Church and Society
When I have ever seen on a television variety program to a nun who turned 60 years of consecrated life, and had been taken by her younger sisters to witness life in service to the sick and working in nursing homes where he had served.

thought that there were two ways to react
1 .- The critical thinking that is exacerbated religious community is showing off a lifestyle, or
2 .- see in that religion, a part of my being a Christian or Christian in a simple act of communication and witness

If Catholics are called by our baptism to be signs of Christ crucified and risen, further enshrined, and that statement goes for the tools we have at our disposal. Paul VI said in the Gospel Nuntiandi, (n. 45) a phrase that is inspiration for many embodied with sensitivity by the media: "the Church would feel guilty before God if they did not utilize these powerful means that human intelligence ever more perfect "

Secularism and the silence grows can only be an oversight, or worse still a reflection of indifference. If the Catholic Church is experiencing a time of purification, the isolated or engage in itself is not exactly a solution

However, if we decide to make a communication strategy, not just good intentions, because if we want to dialogue with society is be done using an appropriate communication language. Church not because we are all things we do - in terms of communication - will be well accepted, but rather I think it's quite the opposite: Because we are the Church, society expects of us a "communicative product" exemplary.

This does not mean surrender before the challenge to communicate well, there are no recipes in the short term but long-term learning to communicate it passes through a minimum training process. In this sense, I dare say that the training aspect, it is related to the charisma of a community, but to human formation of a future set or established. It is clear that an institute of consecrated life whose charism is evangelization by MCS hope to learn from them or them.

A tip that I dare to take to the financing of our small or big media is to make use of advertising, our media projects can not be terminated upon completion of a project's money, look for our initiatives be financially self-sustaining and this is a great challenge.

Finally am taking the foot of the passage in Mark 9, 38-40 when the disciples are - almost - complaining to Jesus and say they have seen "someone driving out demons in your name and does not come with us and tried to stop him because did not come with us. " Jesus replied, "that is not against us is for us." Nace

reflection we can all inform and communicate in the name of Jesus, because they can not afford monopolies of information, not only an inalienable human right, but also a gift from God.
Now this is already a subject of "corporate communication" where the person reporting it does from its mission and service within the church institution, we are all free to communicate while respecting the structure in which we live.

This is an issue that will remain open as a matter of profound importance in the Catholic community viewed as a community within society.
