To KM,

Both you and Bryan seem to have really hit on a valuable resource with this World Association for Christian Communication. And I agree with what both of you have drawn out. A particularly valuable quote from what you quoted, which I think both introduces and sums up what we should do as Christians is as follows:

"Christian communication should be an act of love which liberates all who take part in it. Consequently, the Gospel, being the Good News for the poor, needs to be constantly reinterpreted from the perspectives of the poor and oppressed."

The rest of the points (1 through 6) on Christian communication you quoted from them were really good, and should definitely make it on the wiki. Although, I think it would be wise for us to also include some realism and some caution, because while I agree that all those points about Communication can be true... they are not always true... not merely givens (due to fallenness and corruption in the structures and powers controlling Global Media)... and I think they can only be the most helpful to us when they are all active goals in our efforts at Christian communication.
