CTS Shares Technology Updates at Synodical Convention

FORT WAYNE, IN (CTS)—Thanks to the use of today’s technology, the vast resources of the Concordia Theological Seminary media site, http://media.ctsfw.edu, are never more than a click away. Many of our friends have been making great use of the site via laptop and desktop computers and now Apple's iPhone and iPad users, as well as those using any HTML5 compatible device, will have instant access to the media site. “This means that the resources from the media site are available to people around the world, literally in the palm of their hands,” commented Rev. Bill Johnson, CTS Theological Education Technology Specialist.

The CTS media site contains full text of the entire publication history for Concordia Theological Quarterly, the CUEnet DELTO video collection, daily chapel sermons from Kramer Chapel, full courses from some of the biggest names in the history of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and more. The additions to the media site continue as CTS strives to expand this incredible tool for clergy, students and laity. “I hope more people, pastors and laymen alike, will take advantage of the rich resources already provided by CTS and what will be available in the future,” says Vernon Wendt, Lutheran missionary in Korea.

Attendees of the LCMS Synodical Convention in Houston can visit the CTS booth July 10-13 to see this technology in action, as well as learn how to use the various forms of social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Those interested will also have the opportunity to post their own podcast and learn the basics of how to get set up in your own parish to start using this exciting medium to reach the members of your congregation and community.
