“New technologies, in particular, create further opportunities for communication understood as a service to the pastoral government and organization of the different tasks of the Christian community. One clear example today is how the Internet not only provides resources for more information, but habituates persons to interactive communication.[9]. Many Christians are already creatively using this instrument, exploring its potential to assist in the tasks of evangelization and education, as well as of internal communication, administration and governance…

If the communications media are a good destined for all humanity, then ever-new means must be found…to make possible a true participation in their management by all. The culture of co-responsibility must be nurtured.” (JP II, Apostolic Letter to Those Responsible for Communications 1/24/05, paragraphs 9 and 11).

Blogs for LifeIn recent years the pro-life movement has really embraced the use of the internet as an effective tool to communicate, educate, motivate and advance a culture of life throughout the world. The good people behind Blogs 4 Life recognized this method of evangelization and for the last five years have been holding an annual conference on the strategic use of the blogosphere and weblog technology to communicate the pro-life message.

This year Blogs4Life has asked pro-life bloggers to host the live webcast of their 5th annual conference, sponsored by the Family Research Council, this Friday January 22, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. So, hopefully, if all goes well technically, you will be able to watch the conference for pro-life bloggers right here on my blog Friday morning from 8:30-11:30 EST. I’m not sure what other blogs will be hosting the event online, but if it doesn’t work out here, I know you can also catch it on the Family Research Council’s website. This year’s Blogs 4 Life speakers include:

Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council
Jill Stanek, blogger and speaker, JillStanek.com
Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D., President and CEO of Americans United for Life
Dr. David Prentice, Senior Fellow, Family Research Council
Joseph Farrah, Founder and CEO, WorldNetDaily
Katie Walker, Communications Director, American Life League
Carol Clews, Executive Director, Center for Pregnancy Concerns, Baltimore, MD
Kristin Hansen, Vice President for Communications, Care Net
Kristen Day, Executive Director, Democrats for Life
Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List
Peter Shinn, President, Pro-life Unity
Molotov Mitchell, Founder and President, Illuminati Pictures
Krystle Weeks, Web Editor, Family Research Council

Will any of you be at the March this Friday? If you are be sure to check out some of the other events taking place around the march. I would also encourage you to visit your local Congressmen! I’m sure some of these guys try very hard to hide and ignore what’s going on outside the Capitol on days like this and Lord knows they won’t see an accurate report on the event in the media. So it is vitally important that our representatives have the chance to see the commitment of pro-life constituents and to hear their collective voice.

Speaking of using the internet – for those, like me, who cannot make it to Washington, but want to show their support and solidarity with the March for Life pilgrims, the innovative minds at Americans United for Life have come up with a “Virtual March for Life“. Sign up today and let your avatar do the marching for you!
