Day 36 with guest Jim Coyle
By Sean | March 12, 2008
Join me today for a wonderful conversation with Jim Coyle. Jim is a professor in the Communication Arts Department at the Fransicsan University of Steubenville and one of the organizers for the Franciscan University Communication Arts Conference April 4-5, 2008. We discussed his Lenten spiritual reading of Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen. Then we launched discussion of Catholic communication and community using the new media tools. At one point he turned the mic around and asked me about my motivations for the 40 days of Catholic Media project.
Jim also blogs a bit at Catholic Media Journal. He is hoping to use the Catholic media journal to showcase and highlight blogs and other new media covering the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United States on April 15-20.
If you are within reasonable distance, be sure to check out the Franciscan University Communication Arts Conference April 4-5, 2008. Guest speakers include SQPN podcasters, Father Roderick from The Daily Breakfast and Greg and Jennifer Willits from the Rosary Army. Registration is very reasonably priced and it looks like it will be a great conference. Alas, it is just a little too far for me to attend on a weekend trip, but I hope I can catch some of it on Ustream.
P.S. I know I said, “Welcome to Day 37″, in the interview but I meant day 36… really.
P.S. again. This week’s Catholic Carnival is up at A Catholic Mom Climbing the Pillars
