Bible Study Podcast Targets Young People, Commuters (Wahroonga, New South Wales, Australia ) AMN Staff/ANN]
In a world where the Internet helps people fit news, entertainment and
even spiritual enrichment into their increasingly multitasked lives,
the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the South Pacific now offers the
Adult Bible Study Guide on podcast.
Digital mp3 files of each Sabbath School lesson, podcast onto the
Internet, are available for free download worldwide and are playable on
iPods, mobile phones and other podcast-supporting devices.
Church officials in Australia hope the new lesson format will appeal to
young people, busy commuters and those who might not have the time,
inclination or ability to read traditional printed lessons.
According to Scott Wegener, associate electronic-media officer for
Adventist Media Network in the South Pacific, this is the first English
recording of the Adult Bible Study Guide to be podcast.
While he says there is "no substitute for timely, well-considered study
of the Word of God," Barry Oliver, secretary for the church in the
South Pacific, expects the podcast will help Adventists familiarize
themselves with each week's lesson content before more in-depth study.
Plans are also underway for launching a youth lesson podcast, should
the current adult podcast show a demand for additional audio lesson
studies.
Produced by the Adventist Media Network in the South Pacific, the
podcast is available at the Web site http://sspm.adventistconnect.org
