The Uniting Church in Australia Youth Ministry Intensive this year has a session titled “where r u: mobile theology”, led by Kenda Creasy Dean, author of Practicing Passion: Youth and the Quest for a Passionate Church.
I’ve added a post to Duncan’s TV Ad Land as a resource for the conversation. It features ads by Three, Optus and Virgin.
One thing I’m curious about. Where does the cell phone/mobile phone distinction come in? In NZ we talked about cell phones. In Australia we talk about mobile phones. People look at you dumbly if you refer to a cell phone. So why the difference? Is it geographical? Or historical?
